I want to build a n/a cosy over summer and was curious to the tools you guys thought would be helpful.

 

1/2" socket set
3/8" socket set
set of combi spanners
torque wrench
piston ring compressors
scrapper

cheeRS stu

 

Valve spring compressor.
Piston hammer or a soft hammer.
DTI
3/8 Speed Brace.

 

Valve lapping paste
Moly grease
Valve lapping stick
Feeler gauges.

 

Also depends how much you are going to do your self and to what spec

cheeRS stu

 

sledge hammer!

engine stand
sealant

 

A decent set of micrometers and dial guages if you are actually building it properly rather than just bolting some bits together.

Really depends what spec you are building it to, if its just re-ringing a tired engine then you need basic tools only and can do it in an afternoon, if its goign to be rebored though then you need to be checking clearances propely.

Its a full engine rebuild. I have a spare head and a block, whats some porting and some piston work hey

 

is it only me thats a bit concerned he wants to build a n/a cossie engine but doesnt have any tools!!!

can you give a bit more background on what spec and what you have done before engine wise to give us a better idea of your understanding and what you might need.

 

Agreed!

 

Hammers of various sizes to hit things with.
