Yeh good work, is a lot nicer working on an engine when it's in a stand as opposed to in a tyre on the floor.
Plans sound good for it - now is a good time to go anything to the engine as it's a lot easier timing up cams etc. on a stand as opposed to in the engine bay

Don't know much about ECUs, but I'm sure once it's unlocked - that's it. You can't lock it again.
Try it on a friends car.
