The first step to rebuilding your own engines is to get some of the specialty tools needed. You will need a torque wrench that goes down to 10ft/lbs, I know Snap On has one and I'm sure other brands do to. You will also need a good set of feeler gauges, a valve spring compressor would also be handy but not necessary since the machine shop can remove and install the new valves. Other than that you just need basic hand tools. There's really not much to these engines and the manual will tell you everything you need to know so read it and then read it again and then again and have it sitting next to you to reference while building the engine.
