Just do it yourself, if you have it all apart and everything then there is no reason you couldnt put it back together. All you have to do is make sure that you torque everything to spec and double check everything. I assume though you didnt take the bottom end all apart. If you do think anything is amiss just post pics on here and someone would be able to help. Having said all that, if your not comfortable doing all that then by all means consult a professional. I know that MC racing up here in KC works on a lot of LSX cars.
