Exclamation 86 na engine reguild

im planning on rebuilding my na motor and i was wonder what the difficulty level is. would it be easy to fu** something up or would it be pretty easy to put together for someone like me with only a little bit of experience with rotorys. im not retarded so i think i will be able to figure it out and i have a manual i just wanted your guys opinions.

Buy the Atkins video... Everybody says its perfect for the n00b... Pretty much teardown to rebuild. I'm doing my first rebuild this feb. Shouldn't give me too much crap. From what I hear, the success of your rebuild will heavily rely on your attention to detail, organization of parts/tools, and the condition of your existing parts. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

54mm socket for flywheel nut, dial indicator, digital calipers, feeler guages.. Carbide bits if you are going to be doing porting... Do you have air tools? Die grinder (for porting), impact wrenches, etc?

Make sure to have lots of baggies or organizational containers to separate parts and label them.
