What tools needed for engine rebuild?

The first tools you need are books.

yeah amen to that. Replies to some questions asked in forums like this can get strange. Installing the oil pump/distributer driver is a one example. "Shut your eyes and throw it in there, then figure out where the plug wires go" is not a completely wrong answer but its not a good answer either.

I can't get onboard with a lot of chrome 12 point sockets from Sears though. Those crack too easily.
6 point impact sockets may last you a lifetime.
If you're going to make a habit of this you should invest in ring squeezer, valve spring compressor, and such but... If this is a one and done project, you might borrow or rent specialty tools.
