Believe it or not, there isn't one. At least in the MTFCA videos, the only coverage of the engine is cam replacement, plus generator and starter.

I haven't tried a Youtube search.
I do have some of the videos, and I find that I prefer the books because I can turn directly to the page that applies to what I'm doing.

There is a video on Youtube of an engine rebuild. However it is time lapse photography, and most of it's from a distance.

Lots of tips, but one that is important is this:

the starter will not come out without removing the bendix cover and bendix first. To try otherwise will cause the bendix gear to crash into the magneto ring and likely ruin it.

on the other hand, you'll likely want to send the mag ring out for rebuilding, since it's false economy to put an old ring into a new engine...in that case, still remember that the starter cannot be installed unless the bendix is removed...

second tip:
buy the engine book from MTFCA and study, study, study

all other advice is so lengthy that it wouldn't pay to start. Good luck!
