have you every done one before because if you take your time and deal with good machinest's then it will go pretty good for you but be prepared for a bit of expense especally up here in the great white north like we are.

The rebuild most likely is long term. I'm afraid to find out how bad it is haha! All in good time. Until then ride it till it dies
