This is my first engine rebuild and I am only 18, but I post on this site for advice, not to be criticized for not owning a FSM. The engine is already dismantled so it's kind of late now.
I never criticized you. I just offered a few helpful tips that I could off the top of my head.

An engine rebuild is daunting, but if you take your time and follow the manual you should be OK. Ask questions here and search to see if it was answered before. We're happy to help you. Just don't cut corners or assume something. Ask us.

Were you the guy who did the 4 speed swap?
