One of the best DIY's I've read in a long time. Precise and amusing :-) Great job OP.

One question - does anyone know how hard it truly is to do this without the $500 clamp tool that holds the two bearing ledge parts together ?
Also....ok, two questions, what about the valve compression tool used during re-assembly ? I watched a youtube video and the owner said that trying to re-assemble this without compressing two valve springs was near impossible without seriously risking damaging the parts being installed.

Anyone know ?
