Difficulty of Total Engine Tear Down

That would be nice. I have a Napa and Advanced Auto about 20mins away, but Napa's usually expensive and I don't like Advanced for various reasons.
 
Lemme give you the best advise in the world... Go to o'connor racing. Thats his user name. Read about him. References. Posts. He does quality work. He has done much work fro gangs of people on and off the forum. Hit'em up. He's reasonably priced. When i look at all the tools, accesories, and work u gotta put into this project. Then to find out you might've missed a step. Thento take it all doen again. Sux. O'connor. He's the man. Hit'em up. Tellem i sent you. Peace!!!
 
If you really want to do this yourself, get a Clymer's Manual. It'll walk you through it step by step. Anything that's not clear, check some of the vids on here. It's the ONLY way to go and the manual is exceptionally detailed.

Good Luck
