The last time I fully rebuilt an engine I was 15-16. I have worked on alot on stuff through the years to save money and keep it running like my burb though. When I was replacing ball joints, my retired neighbor mechanic encouraged me when I was ready to give up. You do learn as you go. "Ah maybe do that different next time"
I tend to obsess, worry about getting it wrong or in trouble. Plan go for it, learn.
You tube can be good for a particular project, alot of video on same thing, and alot of diy to show you what NOT to do. Entertaining! We should have a thread for that. "Watch this guy use his professional buddy to do his ac 3x" Anyway, continue to seek help, and you will find.
You go man! Can't wait to see the finish!
