Engine Rebuilding Lessons?

None2Slow said

What about a local community college? I took a few classes while I had the time. Auto ,electronics, transmissions and engines. All taught by ASE master mechanics. After the engine class, I was asked to be the T/A for the next year. Unfortunately I moved. I took these classes in my early 30's. I had 2 roll away boxes of my own and still learned alot.

I thought about that, but school is expensive and has a determined schedule. For $350, I'm thinking this guy is a good deal. I've never taken a college or vocational automotive repair class, but I had friends take 3-4 years of auto tech and only learn the basics like brake repair and how to break a rim down etc. At least with this guy, I know that I'll start with my engine and then rebuild it in a comprehensive manner and probably on my own schedule. Also, the ability to use his equipment at a later date for a pretty low price is an added bonus.

I'm going to call him tomorrow, and I'll update everyone with what I find out.

Thanks for the positive responses.
