[QUOTE="DieselTech, post: 1306449, member: 74999"] helio & Rich, Thank you for your responses. I already have some of Eric's books, and I've been reading some of the more technical threads on here lately as well. I was actually planning on getting the SAE paper R-161 (? I think, if memory serves) written by Prof. Blair. Alas, you can only learn so much by reading and at some point you must start [I]doing[/I], right? That is where the issue for me will be, as I know of no place locally that specializes in any of this type of work. The few people that do any of it have the market cornered, so to speak, and really don't have full shops with employees - they sub the stuff out to a machine shop for the big $$ equipment-required work and do the rest themselves. So, my best way of gaining experience right now is by doing it to my own stuff, or maybe friends - but you know how that can go - so to be safe, mostly just my stuff. For example, I have a banshee crank that needs rebuilding - I see a perfect opportunity to learn by using it as a learning "tool". If I get it right and I can use it, great, as it saves me the expense of having to get a new one ($$$). If I muck it up, no biggie, as it's useless to me as it is right now. I'd rather pay money for tools and try to do it myself than send it off and pay to get it done. Sometimes that's not practical though. Problem is, I have no one locally that can help me learn to do it right, so I'm on my own. Again, thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
