I figure if I'm going to rebuild my 1275 myself, I'd better get the right tools for the job or know where I can get them. What will I need apart from a good socket and spanner set, and a good torque wrench? Any other tools that may not be needed, but come in useful for some of those more annoying jobs? Thanks. |

Primary gear oil seal tool . You do not want to damage that seal big job to get it all back in and find out you damaged it and pull it all back out. |

What size torque wrench would anyone recommend I get? Meaning, what torque rating over the maximum tightened part strength should I get? |

makka W&B still the best IMO, but I can't afford (I do have their baby 180in/lb one) 
If you must buy a cheapo one the dial & pointer ones are more believable than the cheap clicker ones. Eh, Aaron...

Aviation gasket cement - but use sparingly (you could probably scrape enough of that crap from inside my engine to do 3 others). Loctite red threadlock (to replace the crumbling metal lockplates. Buy or arrange to borrow some large sockets for the harmonic balancer and the main bolt (1 5/16" methinks) Engine lifting brackets LOTS AND LOTS OF SMALL CONTAINERS OR ZIPLOCK BAGS TO STORE NUTS, BOLTS WASHERS ETC. AND CLEARLY LABEL EVERYTHING IN DETAIL - ESPECIALY IF YOURE GONNA BE DOING THE REBUILD OVER A LONG PERIOD. OTHERWISE YOURE DONE FOR IT - COZ YOU'LL PRETTY MUCH NEED TO STRIP ANOTHER ENGINE TO FIND STUFF YOU LOOSE. btw getting a cheapo buggered 998 scrap block is not a bad idea either, coz you could strip it for any bolts etc, you might need. Very useful. |
