Heres a quote from the Thread, How to Become A MD Member:

A basic rule for being a Maryland Chapter Member is to occasionally participate in some form, which can include stopping by the chapter forum, and let us know what you're up to, posting on Maryland forum threads, creating threads of your own in the forum, attending GTG's (get-to- gethers), and/or promote the chapter on FTE. Members can and will be removed from the Chapter for not being active in some way.

We also ask that after you have achieved 25 posts, that you enable your Private Message (PM) feature, so you may receive occasional PM's about Maryland Chapter happenings. If you're not sure how to do this, get in touch with me, and I'll be glad to help you get it set up.

You will also be required to give the Chapter Leader your e-mail address. This will NOT be for publication, but for the purpose of the CL or his designated representative to be able to contact you for any necessary reason.

The chapter is here for the benefit of all our Maryland Members, so please participate and help keep the chapter active!

like Bud said, pictures. also have several cans for fasteners, seperate areas into different cans. same with the parts, different boxes for different areas. take it to a car wash, and de grease everything you can, will save some cleaning later, and will save on laundry. remember, clean, clean, clean. area, table, parts, etc. 1 speck of dirt will ruin the whole job. I would probably buy a crank kit for it if it has a spun bearing, will be cheaper than turning the crank. have the heads done while they're off, and you may want to concider new rings as well. we'll all give you a hand as you need it, between jr, and Bud, and myself combined, we figured one time we have 70 years experience.use it wisely
