Im sure its the same as a 3rd gen which means you have to remove the clocks & switch the screws around but don't quote me on it.
Look on the 3rd gen discription here.

I think you have given reasonable advise given your knowledge of surfs (I would have said the same), you are safe THIS time

actually it seemed easier than my 2.4 surf there seemed to be more room just make sure you get all the components lingned up properly eg cam, pump and crankshaft, i also would check the front crankshaft oil seal while you are there and the water pump for leaks.

Best of luck.
