Hints and tips are all I need from someone whos experienced...I've got nothing to lose trying it myself.
Biggest pointer: TAKE YOUR TIME! Make sure to get a compression tester ($20) to make sure you are at TDC (topd dead center) and something to lock the cams when you get it at TDC. Now that I think about it you really don't need the compression tester since the only way the bar fits in the slots at the end of the cams is TDC (but better safe than sorry).  You will need a jack to hold up the engine when you remove the motor mount. Make sure to replace the tensioners and idler pulley(s) and make sure to torque down the cam gears to correct specs. When your down there you might as well replace the water pump. Need any more help let me know.
