OK, New question on this top end rebuild for my 88 Evo.

What tools will I need to rebuild the top end,

ring compressor - got that
lifter block alignment tool - do you really need this - don't they have an alignment pin or anything in the lifter block
cam bearing removal/installation tool - can this be McGivered or is it a must (I know -cheap cheap)
valve spring compressor -got that

I generally make a few tools when I am working on different motors but sometimes I find it is better to bite the bullet and buy the tool if you can't scroungs one somehere. Just don't like collect one use only tools. (I know - cheap cheap)

Anyway get back to me if you would and let me know if my list is complete. Might as well get the stuff I need before I start stripping it down.

Thanks,

Cheap insurane. I wallowed one out in my shovel by not using an alignment pin-pushrod wouldn't stay in adjustment, lifter got screwed, etc...

I believe they are $10 or so on eBay.
