You'll also want a Dial Indicator to measure end play when your making the front stack.
Based off memory I'd also say you're gunna want sand paper of varying grit to use in ensuring the clearances are right. LOTS of cleaner.
Consumables.. we used vaseline (and a syringe), pre-mix, and some dyno 10w40 for the stacking, used grey "The Right Stuff" for engine sealant (oil pan, etc.)
I'm by no means an expert... this is just what I remember off the top of my head from when we built a mine last winter.

Thanks for the input. I was wondering about a slide hammer. I went ahead and ordered an Atkins rebuild DVD, lol. So far I haven't failed to make it run again but this IS my first rebuild apart from a diesel engine but that doesn't count.
Why Pre-mix during the rebuild?
