valve spring compresser, piston ring compresser, piston ring pliers and get a burette for measuring volume in cc's. You can get them from most of the aftermarket retailers. Measure the combustion chambers of the heads before you buy the pistons. Before buying a whole set of dome/dish pistons, purchase a few close to the size (+/- a number of cc's) you need for the target compression ratio. Measure the volume of the top of the piston and pick which one works best before you buy the whole set.............
Also search the info on compression ratio, cam timing and clearance checks using clay. For a few extra dollars and some of your own labor there is a lot you can do to make the motor into what you PLAN it to be.Last edited by threearmsinjune; 11-29-2007 at 04:42 PM.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
