Just some quick back story. Bought a 98 automatic with a head gasket and water pump issue for my daughter. The teardown went well with the exception of my not marking and separating and all in all organizing the bolts I took off. Life intervened and several months later, I have a pile of parts, with no idea. So, question 1, does anyone have a service tech level manual for this engine that would show reassembly? Question 2, does anyone know of an organized fastener kit for the pieces for the accessories, including A/C? Question 3, if this ends up being too much to complete, what's a fair price if I take it somewhere with the parts and ask for it to be put back together at a shop.
Status now is; heads have been milled and stock valve job done by a machine shop, block mating surface was cleaned, heads are on and torqued down with new head bolts and new head gasket, rocker assemblies, and pushrods are all in place and torqued down. At this point, it needs manifold, throttle body, water pump, and front accessories to be installed.
Any help would be welcome here at this point.
