Repiv . . . if you are tearing down and rebuilding an engine for the first time . . . don't rely solely on the manual. You'll probably need someone who has rebuilt a few to assist you. There are as many pitfalls as there are parts in rebuilding an engine.
Also, don't overlook replacing the tired valve seals, worn valve guides, and check the valves are seated airtight in their seats.
A good machine shop can turn down the spun journals on the crank, and you can put in just two oversized bearings.
I'm just saying it ain't over till the fat lady sings.
