Default Engine overhaul - Lifter Replacement

I'm looking for any and all help replacing the lifters in my '12 Tahoe 5.3. I've done plenty of smaller vehicle maintenance, brakes, half-axles... Never engine work, unless you count a push-mower!

This is mostly just a dump of my notes thus far, it's late. Tomorrow I'll be back with the coffee!

Gasket kit $249.99 advance Auto
Head Bolts $32.99 advanced Auto
Lifter Guides Lifter Guides
$24.99 Amazon I asked 1 auto parts guy and he said I'd probably have to get the guides from online somewhere
Lifters HT-2303 1-4-6-7 43.49x8=347.92 HT-2148A Cyl. 2-3-5-8 13.29 × 8 = $106.32

is the 240 savings from Amazon the deal?

Step 4 - Clean Off Manifold Gaskets

It is important to clean off all of the residue left over from the gaskets on the manifold. Use a gasket scraper, a wire brush, and some solvent in order to clean this leftover residue

Anything else I'm obviously missing yet?
