i learned everything from my dad and learned more when i put the ls in my hatch. My first motor that i took apart was a junk chevy small block. I didnt care so i jus takin everything apart and put it back together. its not that hard to take apart or rebuild a motor. u jus need all the specs for that motor like measurments and torque specs....etc, and know what goes where, but after takin apart that motor u should know where everything goes.
