3. how do i push the crank sprocket back onto the crankshaft?
Put a 32mm socket over it and whack the socket with a hammer. Make sure the lip part faces away from the engine.

Yes, follow the pattern in the 420a overhaul manual.
5. is there a torque rating for the oil and water pump?
Yes, definitely. See overhaul manual or chiltons.
6. do i put any sealant on the rear main seal?
No, but I usually put a paper-thin layer of grey RTV around the outside anyways. It's more important that you install it evenly.
7. what do i torque the arp headdstuds to?
According to the ARP catalog, 190,000psi 11mm studs are torqued to 90 ftlbs with 30-weight oil, or 71 ftlbs with ARP Moly lube (recommended). Check the manual that came with the studs to be sure.

Not really. If you want to prime it, squirt a bunch of engine assembly lube in there.
