It's like any thing else the first time is the hardest but hell on the third or forth time putting any Honda engine is simple just keep practicing and you will get it.
yeah i think its an inexperience thing. I've read stories of people who road race hondas at lemons/other events and competitors have popped their motors and swapped in a replacement by the next day.
These days i've come to respect import cars when they're done right.
