Some things that haven’t been mentioned:

- A set of rifle brushes to clean block passages and everything else
- A crank rotating attachment and a cam rotating attachment (the precise names escape me). These are two items that seemed unnecessary but actually were very helpful.
- Light checking valve springs
- Adjustable pushrod
- Deck bridge (for measuring piston depth)
- Yes, it’s a good time to invest in quality torque wrenches. They’re not cheap, but they’re essential. I use a big 25” wrench that’s 30-250 ft lbs and a 16” wrench that’s 5- 75 ft lbs. The different scales give you more accuracy, and the long wrench is key when you have to do all the main bolts multiple times and other huge torque numbers.

I used a cheap Jegs ring filer. It wasn’t great, but got the job done with a bit of extra labor. Get an extra grinding disc. The next step up in ring filers was hundreds and hundreds of bucks, and didn’t seem worth the investment for occasional use.

It pains me a bit to say this, but like mgarblik I’ve found the Chinese mics on ebay actually work great.
