Some of the special tools my buddy built himself, others we purchased.

I don't know if there is anything specifically tricky if you have experience doing engine work -- with the exception of the insertion of the wrist pins for the second set of cylinders. This is performed blind, and by feel.

Funny you should mention the wrist pins, I felt pretty confident up until I saw the YouTube video of them being installed, looks very challenging but doable with either the proper tool or a fabricated one.
How do you know if the piston and connecting rod are lined up before inserting the wrist pin?
