Really the HP book, "How to rebuild..." is all you need if you're just going to take it apart and put it back together again.

BUT I have to ask why? Many members are running engines that were put together 20 or more years ago, with no problems. Once the gaskets are in place and torqued down, what is going to happen if the engine is in a nice dry shed? I have valve stem seals that are 20 years old or older, NOS, and they are still flexible. The same goes for the other seals.

In this particular case I'd agree with the philosophy of "Don't fix it if it ain't broke."

Use the energy you were going to spend on this project to get a car on the road. I know all about interminable engine projects that never go a foot under their own power. I've done it many times.
