Intake manifold gasket(s)

Exhaust gasket(s)

 

Special socket for center head bolt.

feeler gages

Valve lash adjustment tool (you could use regular wrenches but having the real thing is much nicer)

 

There's probably more but I can't think too well this late.

cool...thanks for the input! Lol, yeah I was up pretty late too!

Where would i get one of these special bolt tools?

Are the valves a pain for the novice?

I can do all kinds of car work,

just never busted open an engine b4!
