for the the gasket separation, i use this little guy https://www.amazon.com/Engine-Transmissions-Oil-Pan-Separator/dp/B011DR95WM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1544107976&sr=8-1&keywords=Oil+Pan+Separator, its the same tool called for in the FSM. Its basically a blade with a heavy metal block and a tiny handle attached to it so you can hit it with a ball peen ... I'm not sure if its actually faster (but I think it is) but its really good for preventing marring the metal surfaces and lets you get the parts apart without having to "peel" them and potentially warp them

question though, what are the arrows you put on the picture with the cam chains lining up with where the orange chain links are? ...I dont see any marking on the rear cover on those sides? Am i missing something (i'm sure its in the FSM but real pics like the ones you posted are so much easier to work off)

also, what silicone lube did you use on the o rings?
