Everyone has to learn somewhere but you have to understand, that were not criticizing you. Most of us know what is involved in rebuilding one of these motors correctly, cost and sourcing of replacement parts. Take it as a warning not criticisms..

All assemble lube and torque wrenches aside, with the proper knowledge and tools anyone would be able to assemble one of these motors. The issue is, cost...To do a correct rebuild, parts will set you back 4-6k and many of us don't want to invest that in our rides and thus we just suggest finding a good used motor...

Also one must understand, that these motors very seldomly need a rebuild. Before one starts to tear apart one of these motors, they should be very well informed of all the odd maintenance issues these cars have from both age and use.

I would like to recommend anyone looking into getting into rebuilding engines start with the easier v8/slant sixes that were oh so common in American cars and slowly move up to more complicated engines.
