Don't sweat the naysayers, it's not that hard just think about stuff before you slap it together, and turn it over by hand a couple times when it's together. Use plenty of oil when assembling.

The FSM link has all you need to know: Crank at TDC compression, pump at the right marks, assemble, check pump timing with drip method, and you're set. I did mine in a barn, it's just about following the steps & making sure you're lining up by the right marks.
