Or a decent impact driver as the screws can be as much fun as your flywheel housing was !

I really like the allen-head oil seal plate screws. Made of incredibly soft metal, which someone has loctited in place.,...just one turn to round the head off!

Ha ha had a few of them - nothing worse than opened an engine up and seen them rounded
Not so bad when brand new and you have a decent hex head tool to install and strip - i use a socket attachment not an allen key.
My last two builds i went back to sloted screws (from SR)

cos its like a tall mountain innit " cos its there....."
If you use an Impact screwdriver thingy, make sure its body is not touching the inside of the mag housing area as you wack it- if it is touching its possible to put a burr or a slight indentation therein, which means a pig of a job getting the mag housing off again- I speak from bitter experience.....!
