I think it is great decision to do it yourself.
+1 you have a service manual.
My two cent comments
1 - Hammer seems to have good rep you can always call them for guidance if you run into difficulty.
2 - Keep it clean - that's good advice from our other co-member.
3 - Buy the correct tools if you don't have them.
4 - Ring gap position is important as mentioned above.
5 - Tuning may be fun LOL.
I'd look forward to your follow up and any tricks, issues etc you ran into once completed.
FWIW I am envious of your 1275!

FWIW, here's a few pics of my "pre assembled piston-in-jug that Hammer did for me
as well as some other stuff I got from them
(CNC ported 1200 heads, brass oil gear, chopped case, etc)

Sweet. Thanks everyone. Yea I opted for the preassemby as well, should make it much easier to not have to deal with that portion of it. You chop your cam cover yourself? Looks good. I did mine myself a couple months ago.
Yea tuning should be fun. I have the FP3 and Hammer sent me the tables to plugin

Also bought some black lower rocker covers that are on the 1200s and some RSD upper rocker covers. Going to powdercoat my pushrod covers and tappets as well.
