It actually wasnt that hard! It only took us 2 days because we ran out of daylight + it had to be skimmed 5 times!
Taking it apart + putting it back together again was pretty ok! Its a simple engine!

i did the head gasket on my 1.3. was not hard at all, easier then ravens as mine did not need skimming. i had the same problem as u have described. i think you should buy a genuine VW rocker cover gasket as i found other ones to be rubbish. that solved the oil leaking from the corners.
