I'd like to take on the project of building my first engine, and want to start with a /6. I've got all the pieces from a 225 motor that was already taken apart.
That's gonna make it a lot more challenging. It's much easier to reassemble an engine that you've taken apart YOURSELF to get an idea where everything goes.
Not trying to discourage you, I just want you to know what you're getting into. Is there a chance you get get a 2nd engine to pull apart first? Lot's of folks GIVE slants away.
