Well that didn't work out as intended!
After a 2 year hiatus it's moving again. Life sometimes throws a spanner in the works. The money and time to clean it up and do it to the best of my abilities just wasn't there.
Anyway here are some more interesting finds from this week:
It seems water pump gaskets are not needed.
Tensioner boot needs neither clamp on outside nor clip on the inside.
Stack shows no oil and last group of washers not correct.

Some more.
probably found most of the reasons why everything is covered in oil and coolant - the broken hose and hard/broken seals on water bridge and oil filler.

Also, you are missing a spacer/washer that goes between the tensioner spring and the plastic insulator (see below)
Also, check the configuration of the tensioner washers. There should be 7 packs of 5 washers arranged as shown below.
