Special Tools for bottom end build? Just curious if there are any special tools required if you build the bottom end of an ls1 besides the usual like a torque wrench, feeler gauges, tapered ring compressor, and i guess its a dial bore indicator for measureing crank thrust? A friend of mine said you need other special tools to build it. Thanks guys

Just went through this...additional things that will make it easier:
cover alignment tool
piston ring grinder (if using file-fit rings)
special tape to check your bearing clearances
torque-angle meter (if using OEM main studs or OEM head bolts)
plastic hammer
6- or 12-pt sockets (if using ARP fasteners)
