Re: how to learn engine building???

That is true, I have seen a few videos available online for it. Probably a good idea either way since you could watch it more than once and ask your questions online after without the fear of some annoyed engine builder smacking you with a heavy object.

Namely a 7-bolt crankshaft.

I have yet to build my own engine, but even disassembling an engine you learn how it's assembled and where the pieces go. It's a puzzle, except there are specific measurements that need to be followed for nearly every part.

Like mentioned, some knowledge is to be had from classroom and other various froms of instructions, but the majority of the population on this board is from hands on experience.
