What are all the tools I will need to put a block together....i got this free and is bare and i am goin to LEARN how on this block(so dont flame me for trying to put a block togeter but i dont even know wat tools to use) Thankyou

 

Invest into a Helms manual.

 

Take your time and do it right. Invest in a torque wrench. Buy some plastiguage from your local parts store and plastiguage your bearings. And (as stated above) get a Helms or similar manual.

 

Can i buy a Helms manual at a store or it has to be bought online?

 

Check your local autoparts stores-some carry Helms, Chilton's, etc.

 

The only other place besides online I've seen is at the dealer, but they're a little bit more. Helm's IS the one you should get if any though. Good luck.

 

yup helms, 3 times as much as a haynes, but about 50 times more informing. You'll need a 10mm, 12mm, 14mm ratchet/wrench a torque wrench, needs to go up 90 Lbs at least (its good to get two, so you have a small one thats say 5 - 30 ft-lbs and then another that does like 25-150. If its in descent shape and not too beat up, you can keep the bearings, but should you take off that crank, you'll want to get new bearings for that.
