Chris -- nothing like having a bunch of buddies around for that -- especially if one or more of them are ASE-certified master mechanics/shop teachers/race engine builders with decades of experience
One part that was especially nice to have help for was the cleaning stage (crucial before reassembly -- as explained in the 261 rebuilding tech tip
) I can't imagine how much fun that wouldn't have been if I didn't have the gang on hand to make a party out of it. And how quickly we got it done.
