You got the small nut(8mm) just under / beside the bottom right (as you look at it)  BIG case stud nut and another  about 1  1/2 \"  below that?

No , nothing behind the flywheel

Yep, I am sure I got them all, just not going to force anything apart.

There's actually 2 M8 nuts that hide under the gunk.  They are above and below the camshaft's centerline.
