rebuilding motor- keep everything in order...... main caps, etc.
Buy the Dennis More book on sbc power, go junk yarding, find a basic 4 banger, and tear it apart, put it back together.
www.howstuffworks.com one of the best sites out there, and they have pictures
As far as school, not sure about how it is out there, but our tech school is a joke. It is rated high, but I dont think I learned a thing there, except to lock my doors and hide my valuables.
Whenever you have a question about cars/boats/engines ask on here, most people have knowledge of those, with 20k members at least someone has an answer.

Thanks fellas, I appreciate the serously replys, and no one bashing me kind of like sutphen but thats only cause I joke around with him alot--hes a good guy.
But anyways, they dont offer stuff like that at my school because they say I go to a "private" school and they want us being like doctors and lawyers and stuff so they dont offer machine classes or anything which sucks.
