My 911 SC Engine Rebuild Thread

My girl crashed a valve yesterday, and now it is time for a rebuild! Borescope video of the carnage here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de-RgeLJaCc&

I've ordered Wayne's book, and plan to drop the engine this weekend. I have the Bentley manual and notes from a rebuild 80K back (911SC WDP founder Leland Pate).
Right now I'm cleaning the garage and borrowing tall jackstands. I have a pretty good set of tools from a transmission rebuild and later CIS rebuild. My experience also includes a fuse box rebuild, new full-length fuel lines, CV's, and similar lesser tasks.

I would appreciate any input on steps, books, videos, pitfalls. And also a bit of encouragement - it is rather scary.

Update: Moved main content to an engine rebuild subforum thread: https://forums.pelicanparts.com/911-engine-rebuilding-forum/1179839-1979-sc-chewed-valve-total-rebuild.html
