Would you rather be monitoring oil pressure, etc while driving around sanely so you will actually notice when something starts going awry, catch it, shut it down, then figure out and fix your issue?
Or would you rather realize your oil pump is weak doing an 8k rpm 1-4 pull and lose oil pressure most likely causing damage beyond what you could "easily" repair?
You don't need a multi million dollar facility. He isn't re inventing the wheel or engineering his race engine program. he needs to follow the instructions in the FSM it's a stock rebuild. Buy some fowler measuring tools, clean everything and go to town. learn from your mistakes, I built my first engine when I was 14 broke it and got it right the second time around.

Break your engine in on a controller environment, beat the shit out of it; also read this article.
