I know you are good at what you do. I'm trying to get through the links and retain as much information as possible. I'm one of those people that has the attention span of a gold fish. I try to learn and do as much as possible on my own and don't have any local help. I try to have a project for my sanity and balance it on a budget and fit it in on what little time I have between work and family. Sometimes the lack of time can complicate simplest of tasks when it can take a month or more to get something done that if I could have the time I could do in one long day. But anyway thanks again for your guidance I appreciate it.
I well remember how difficult it was when I was 16-22 years old or so, years old, and finding valid info was very hard,most of the better engine shops and the successful racers were not about to let you in on what they knew.
most machine shops were basically run like a huge SCAM,
and they made a point of taking you for every dollar they could , and most of them did really crappy quality work, or didn,t have a clue how do things correctly
Luckily I had several mentors, without a knowledgeable mentor, willing to point out what was wrong and what you needed and it would have made thing far more difficult
(remember there was no internet back then)
so I'm doing everything I can to make it far easier on the newer guys PROVIDED of course that they will take the time and effort to read links and sub links.
Ill try hard to help where I can! (because no one deserves too be forced into wasting all the time, money and effort I was forced too to learn what works and what won,t!)
