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?

the head just got rebuilt, the cams are out. All i need to do is install cams and bolt the head and carbs on.

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.
