Title: Engine Builders
Post by: Swartz on March 22, 2005, 06:24:29 PM

Originally i was going to assembly my engine myself BUT the more money i spend on parts the more i dont want to risk screwing it up. Who do you guys recommend and what would i be looking at to get someone to build my motor for me assuming i have every nut and bolt?$$

im working on those two myself, did you buy the book on rebuilding engines? I have found it useful as well as getting help from the guys on the forums.
