there are plenty of write ups dealing with this issue..i feel like the guy was an idiot. Search around and see how you feel about it. I know superbleeder and olharleyman both have very good write ups.

counldnt be that hard. watched my buddy throw one together in an evening.not rebuild, but he was building one for his cousin. had a block with pistons etc in ita head with the valve train in itand the rest of the parts. water pump, oil pump, font cover, timing chain, valve cover, cam.from my experiance of doing my timing chain, water pump, and setting my valve lash, they are pretty easy to work on.just pay close attention to instructions and torque specs.when i did my timing chain every time i got a "step" done i sat back with a beer and looked at it, made a plan of what i was going to do next and double and tripple checked the directions. it really helped to avoid mistakes.good luck
