Ok

I have been looking at the service shop manual and it is referencing tools needed to change out the main bearings. Is this tool needed or is there an equivalent?

It also talks about changing the camshaft bearings is this nessessary? Again will need a tool for that.

On the bearing kit it asks for size, where will I be looking on the original parts to find that information one I have the engine opened up.

So I guess I need to know what tools I will need to rebuild the engine other than the standard tools. So that I can change bearings and rings.

Thanks

Installing the main bearings is not very difficult.

The cam bearings takes a special tool and you have to know how to do it. If you have to line up the oil holes properly for each bearing. I wold not recommend installing the same bearing twice as the retaining foce is reduced every time that you remove and install them. You need to get it right the first time. Best to let a machine shop do it..
