Cracked piston, possible build in progress. Need some advice

ok so just had the car checked out, my number 1 piston has a crack. So honestly I am not a car mechanic by any means. So I am going to get the Diamond forged pistons, a new head gasket, head studs, piston rings. Is there anything else I am going to need to buy to have this completed.

I am going to have to do the work myself unless I can find a shop to do it for 900 bucks or cheaper. Any ideas thoughts? Any special tools I will need etc?


HELP!!!

if you broke a piston, you better drop the block and have someone check the sleeves

If you arent a mechanic and dont know what your doing. Then i highly recommend not doing the work yourself. If you want it done right, pay someone to do it and it will most likely cost more then $900
