I understand the lack of tools etc. I personally did not install my own engine in my car due to not having adequate tools, but I did assemble the complete motor, etc.

I'm with you all the way, but we all have our limitations.

I do as much as I can, which isn't much, but I'm lacking in skills, space, tools, and time. I enjoy doing my own work, because every time I do, I stretch my own knowledge and confidence.

But I'm a long way from tearing into the guts of a motor...
