Engine Rebuilding Lessons?

I just got done talking with Charlie (the rebuilder) and he's worked on all kinds of engines from 36 head super engines to lawn mower engines. Sounded like he knows what he's doing and been doing it for 33 years. He's built engine for Jeff and Linda Bloom (they hold quite a few speedway records). I'm going to go meet him this week and definitely get started on learning a little more. :)
