Looks like a real fun project...
I say you set aside another $500 dollars and get ready for a sharp learning curve.

I think without prior knowledge, the clymer won't do you a ton of good.
I also bought a Clymer manual thinking it would be the be-all-and-end-all to teach me from the ground up, but really - its for someone who already has mechanical apptitude and understanding of basic motorcycle maintanence.
Goodluck, i reckon you'll need it.

I've torn down and built back up my honda civic (and i mean COMPLETLY rebuilt), but i had the help of mechanic friends, and that was half a decade ago.
The clymer has tons of pics and step-by-step tuitorials, so I feel like if I stick to it, i can at least get this thing back together.
Once it's together & running again I'll go about diagnosing & fixing the knock (which I think is a valve tick, and not a piston slap)

I've got a clymer for a few of my bikes, and it's really nice. Lot's of step-by-step with pictorials.

Assuming the crank is good you can probably do it for less than $500. ~$150 for piston/rings/gaskets/pin/bearing. $25 to take it to a machine shop and have it rebored .020in out. Other than that, you probably just have to adjust stuff (valves & carb) and you could get a cheap pipe and rejet to carb for a little more power.

That made me laugh and reminisce about the good ol days. My wife would kill me if I pulled a bike into the living room now! 
Thank god for having a garage.
Oh, and good luck with the project. Sounds like fun to me.

Just gave the clymer a good hard look. I think I'll be able to handle this project.
Work begins this weekend!

Awww yeah!
It's nice seeing a 4 stroke head
Couldn't you just shim the valves that have the worn rockers/tips?
It looks pretty good man!
