Decided to get started after work tonight. Changed the fuel filter and fuel cap. No change as expected so I tore into the engine after that. Here's the progress so far:

Is this the updated crank bolt?

Pretty happy with the progress so far considering I didn't really want to be doing this. Need to get the crank pulley tool so I can get the rest of the timing cover off and see if all the marks line up, and get a TDC tool so I can check #1 cylinder at TDC to see if I'm off anywhere. I've never done engine work like this so it should be interesting.
