I am learning so much here as I am no engine guy by any means.
I am one of those guys who hope a buddy can help me or I have to walk out of the machine shop with a large bill and an asspon in my skivvies to hold my sphincter in.
I like doing things myself and learn at the same time. I'm 38 years old and maybe the things I learn now about building a healthy, strong quality motor might pay off one day.... when I build the stroked 440.
