I have a measuring tape in my box at work and I think I’ve taken it out of the drawer twice in 5 years and I think once was sexually motivated hahaha. but yeah like he said get yourself a nice socket and ratchet set, some wrenches, angled and straight needle nose pliars (they come in handy for hose clamps) , hammer, some prybars and various screwdrivers and you can do a full engine swap. I’ve done buddies engines in their driveways with only hand tools . basic tools are usually all you need most cars dont require anything special. Go buy yourself a set from crappy tire, my friend has a nice one he picked up for like 100 bucks. check for sales and deals. Luckily for me I work at nissan so I just bring my car inside and dont have to do the driveway thing --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/engine-rebuild-need-volunteers/133907)._
