Yes, I've learned alot from making mistakes... :banghead: :oops:
The first engine that my bro and I built, the guy at the parts store told us the wrong way to install the bearings and we ruined our crank. We bought a new crank and used REFERENCE BOOKS to install the bearings correctly. Never made that mistake again.... NEVER....
And I learned to use reference books for information when in doubt. Service manuals are great for reference. Too much information won't hurt you like not enough will...
