To rebuild the engine you need lots of tools.

Besides sockets and wrenches you need:

Dial indicator for checking valve wobble in the valve guides.
Dial indicator with gauges to check the cylinder bore.
Micrometer to check the piston if the ring lands are not trashed.
Drill press to press in new valve guides.
Flat steel table or flat formica table,
Thickness gauges. For measuring ring end gaps.
Gasket scraper.
Vernier calipers 6 inch ,0 - .100 in one revolution.
All engine cases and cylinder to be cleaned spotless. Hot tank or ultrasonic tank.
Good workshop manual.
Allen wrenches for pulling the plugs in the crankshaft oil galleys, plugged up with years of gunk.
Machine shop nearby to machine parts.
A new set of valves and valve springs.
Neway valve cutter set.
Watch this video AFTER you have replaced the valve guides.
