Basic combo wrenches, sockets and a torque wrench.

Stay away from silicone sealers, especially with anything that attaches to the case. Gas-ga-cinch, Permatex 2H, Yama bond 4, are among the best. Check with your local motorcycle shop to see what they use on their cases, especially when they don't use gaskets from the factory. If you get new pistons and cylinders make sure to clean all of the packing residue off of the rings, pistons, and cylinders. Get a good manual like Bentley and don't be afraid to look things up on this site. You will get all of the help you need. Good luck!
