I did a 01 GSR swap on my 98 LS and the LS engine is sitting in my garage so I decided I'm going to attempt to rebuild it for fun.

I have most basic tools, compressor, air tools, engine stand, cherry picker, factory service manual, etc.

Which specialty tools do I need to make this rebuild somewhat pain-free? Do I need to buy all the tools the manual says I need?

Any advise? Any thing to be careful with?

Thanks guys. Honda-Tech Rules!

 

if you dont have these already...you'll need a torque wrench, piston ring compressor, cylinder hone, plasti gauge, **** like that....all those things you can get at auto zone or kragen equivalents...i'd buy a high quality torque wrench though...craftsman works good.
