No, because I'm stupid and lost out on 2 deals, but now I have one being shipped out on Friday which is good, because now I can start selling the parts that I will be changing out as of now

I've been waiting on my friend for awhile now to come and help me with the project (he is being paid for this), so I figured I learn how to take apart the motor myself. I know the basic shit, grab a few beers, get the tools out, go to work.
The motor has been in a corner waiting to be put on the stand. I took off the clutch, pressure plate, and I guess the transmission ring?, and put it aside.
(THEY WILL BE FOR SALE SOON!)
Next, getting the engine on the stand. I took off the fingers for the stand and started hooking it up to the transmission. Once that was set, I dragged over the shop lift and started hooking up the chains to it. After I made sure everything was good, we went airborn!
Everything went great, up until getting the motor on the stand. I didn't realize the motor was sideways when I lifted it, so I had to turn the entire motor straight in order for the pipe to fit inside the engine stand. After a few tries, I got it in and locked it.
I don't have an air compressor nor an impact wrench so I can't remove some "SPS" bolts. I figured I'd stop there until I went to Harbor Freights and bought myself the tools needed.
I came home a few hours ago from a nice ride (very cool breeze here in FL right now), and still had some life in me for the night so I went and see what else I could do. I looked at my cams and saw that I could probably get them off and out of the way. I unscrewed everything, and put it all aside.
(Barrel Juice FTW)
I took everything and put it into my handy portable CraftsMan Supply Tool Box so I don't misplace anything.
As you can probably see, I'm tired and worn out, I'm calling it a night tonight. Tomorrow I need to take the heads off, and may need some helpful hints on it. I'll keep you all posted!
