If you don't have a go you will never have the experience to rebuild an engine. I have rebuilt one engine and I learnt what to do as I went. I used professionals for all the machining, and they knew I was going to have a go at it, so they offered me advice and checked all the tolerances particularly well to minimise the odds of errors. Rebuild went well, learnt heaps and had a lot of fun doing it. The engine could probably have been built better, but I did it!!!

GO FOR IT!!!
