Heres the deal, Just got my head and carbs back. I have the shop manual and ready to be put back together. I do not own any torque wrenches and am a bit weary of trying to put this beast back together myself. If anyone has any free time coming up and live near the Warsaw, Indiana area I would gladly pay for a house call and throw in some beer too!!

Is your head put together, or are you going to do that yourself?

You've got it easy.
One of your buddies has a torque wrench, if they don't, their dad does.
I guess the best advice I could give is when you get it back together...TURN IT OVER BY HAND to make sure everything is right and no valves touch each other or the pistons.
I'm about 2 1/2 hours away and don't own a 900, I don't know how much help I could be.
If you run into a problem, you know the guys here can help.

Autozone has a program where they will lend you various tools and I know that they have torque wrenches. Or you can get one pretty cheap at Harbor Freight, under $20.00 IIRC.
