That is sort of a double-edged sword. Its easy to take things apart and
much harder to put them back together. I learned how to build engines by
necessity, because my first car was a $125.00 1967 Nova that burned more
oil
than gas. It wasn't long before it became painfully obvious that it needed
a
rebuild, and I couldnt afford to do it any other way. I had a buddy
helping
me though, and he was (and still is) a professional mechanic. We rebuilt
that engine in the back of his Chevy van, on an engine stand that was tied
down so it wouldnt fall over when he drove the van to and from work every
day. After that I worked as a professional mechanic for a while, and since
then I have built several engines on my own, but some 25 years later the
same guy helped me build the engine that is currently purring away in my El
Camino (but this time we had the engine stand in a garage instead of a
van).
The point is that if you have never done this before you should at least
have somebody helping you who has, and hopefully it will make for some fun
memories in the process. Otherwise you should probably hire a pro.
