You need a few tools...torque wrench is the most important one, Re setting the timing chain is another biggie, get it wrong and it will not run. Set engine to 1# at Top dead center on compression stroke before you dissasemble it. Also get a manual, this will have tightening sequences and torque values, a must! I dodnt advise this job for a beginner!
