    IMO its kinda like learning to drive a manual transmission. If you don't know what the F*** your doing, learn on someone else's car.
    You can do a lot of damage just taking the engine apart if you don't do it properly/ with caution.

    Most people don't have a cherry picker or many of the tools that make removing/installing an engine easy.

      There is some stuff you can't do like hot tank or bore and hone. But the assembly you can do.

        You are right TJ, I do need to learn to do some things on my own because I will probably waste so much money paying shops to do work on my car that I could use towards upgrades for the car. I pondered going to automotive school somewhere once I graduate from grad school soon. As of right now I would rather pay someone to do the job right because I would just tear something up lol.

            Thanks for the offer TJ, but I have a few books like that. I actually know about how things work I have loved cars forever, I just have never really took the time to learn how to fix on them.

              Best thing I think is to read, tear down, rebuild. Hahaha. Just when doing major things have someone who knows what they are doing help guide you.
