lots of pictures, lots of plastic baggies and a sharpy and some tape so you can label whats what.

Take your time and label and bag everything, nuts, bolts and hoses.

When you take your timing cover off, make a template with cardboard so that you remember which bolt came from which hole. For the most part its easy but 2 of the longer bolts switched could cause some issues.

When you go to take the intake manifold off, remember the hidden allen bolt and the hidden bolt under the valve cover that goes into the top of the timing cover. It will be covered in a puddle of oil.
