You will need several thousand dollars in tools you DO NOT already have.
Your best most economic move is to find a wrecked Corolla with a good low miles engine

i have a good amount of tools, socket sets, wrenches etc

don't have a micrometer .. or very specialized tools

also i don't have an engine crane or a stand, an engine crane is about $250, an engine stand probably about $150

You are going to run into alot of specialized tools you don't have
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84014134


Some auto parts stores like Autozone and O'Reilly's have a tool loan program. You have to put down a deposit for the price of the tool but you get it back if you return it in working condition. You have to be careful thought, some of the more delicate tools might have been damaged by previous users. I got compression testers from both places and they both didn't register any compression at all.

Maybe try watching some YouTubes on engine rebuilds.
