Hey Chuck -

Just finished doing the same, and as you - this was my first.

I used strictly the shop manual and this forum of guys. I took my time, questioned everything and 99% found the answer by searching others posts here.

If the engine is currently assembled you have the benefit of getting to disassemble so you can see how it went together!

I know the Shop Manual is more wordy and less "pictury" but it covers everything.
