Default Sohc Engine Rebuild. Anyone have great info?

First of all, I just signed up because other forums I was on are just to slow, and this webforum seems to have huge ammounts of info and users.

But Im basically trying to rebuild my D16A6 form the ground up and Im looking for some articles/threads with great information on the disassembly/assembly, whats needed ahead of time as far as gaskets go.

Hoping to stay here for a long time. My jobs boring and I do nothing but basically get payed to surf.

Thanks guys

I suggest getting a factory service manual for the car that the engine originally belongs in. It will have the needed info you need for specific clearances, bearing selections, assembly/disassembly instructions/diagrams, etc.

Haynes manuals do suck. Get a service manual on CD from ebay or something. Shouldn't run you more than $15 and it has everything the dealership mechanics need to fully service your vehicle.
