Required tools for 3.0 engine partial refresh

I planning on doing a partial refresh to an 82 SC engine I just purchased. Can someone provide a list of unique tools to be able to get everything dismantled and put back together. Pretty much bringing engine down to long block. I know I need to get a CIS gauge, what else? Thanks!

Longblock or shortblock?
If doing heads, studs and P&C's then that's down to the shortblock. A lot more tools.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

Nditiz1,

If I understood you correctly, you want to get all the CIS stuff off the engine, and install them back later. And you are not removing the cam towers and cylinder heads. If this is the case, you just need basic metric tools (sockets, box, open and Allen wrenches) and a decent engine stand (engine yoke - optional).

Borrowing tools is a good option but it will take you weeks or even months to get this project done and you are better off having your own set of tools. Unless you are planning to remove the cam towers and cylinder heads, there are some special tools you need to have. Keep us posted.

Tony,

Perfect answer. Yes that is exactly what I will be doing. I'll be pulling off everything to take it to the valve cover to valve cover. Want to clean and refresh the fan, CIS, clutch and flywheel, gaskets, front and rear seal. Check the chains and maybe repair the tensioner if needed. Just wanted to make sure no special tool was needed. I have a lot of basic tools, but have never tackled this type of engine. My mk4 r32 requires a special unique filter wrench for the haldex that cannot be substituted. Just making sure nothing like that is needed for my future project.

Sometimes I wish I had fingers that were 10 inches long, and strong as steel.. I reckon they would come in pretty handy.

For tensioners you need a pin for the tensioner and a set of solid mechanical tensioners. you have to take care not to mess up your cam timing.

If you want to do the chains, etc., you're into cam timing, you'll need dial indicator and the porsche fixture for it.
Cam tools for a 3.0 IIRC it could be a big nut for early cam or the later bolt on style camshaft. You need the year of the engine or just look to see what you have. There's two different tool sets for the two cam timing gear fastening styles.
Honestly for this task you need something like Wayne's book, as it has a good cam timing how to and all the timing specs.
