Do have a lot of tools? Take a engine class at your local community college or vo-tech. Most will let you work on your own stuff and they provide the tools you may not have. The other advantage is you have someone to ask questions and check your work.

Go here. Their books are excellent. HP books are good also. Think long and hard about a Vo-Tech course or as a minimum have someone who knows what they are doing with you at every step. Rebuilding an engine isn't hard but there are many,many places you can go wrong.

Books are great, but experience is better.
