Thanks for the write-up. I would like to tackle my own engines (at least one) but wondered what sort of specialty tools I'd need. All those little things sure do add up don't they? ;)

It was a good experience. You can definitely do it with help from knowledgeable people like I did....and some borrowed tools  :lol: :icon_smile_wink:

I already own most of the tools used. I had to borrow a dial indicator, valve spring compressor and a home-made tool made from a oil pump drive shaft to prime the oil pump. And you need a good torque wrench. Other than that, most of it is done with basic hand tools.  :yesnod:

You would be correct!
