Nice pics!
Next time I'm doing my own.There's a lot of resources here.

 

If you deside to tackle the job yourself, my recomendation would be to buy the right tools. They aren't cheap, but I'm sure you would agree, when you do things the right way it normally isn't the cheapest.

 

I can tear her down, and put it all back without spare parts,,,,


Question is, would she run?????

 

You would be surprised how easy most of it really is after you've got a basic knowledge about engine building. I've got a few other posts where I complain about the cost of those simple tools which most can be made from scrap around a home shop. For instance, bearing pullers/installers...
Two half inch drive sockets sized according the diameter of bearing outers and a short piece of all thread with nuts/washers, same thing just has multiple uses instead of just one. If you don't want to damage your Snap-On tools, go to harbor freight and pick up some sacrificial sockets. But, thats off my original point. If a dummy like me can do these things just think what people who actually have an education can do with a little initiative.

We have been conditioned to believe we cannot do anything for ourselves, so we must rely on costly goods, shoddy workmanship, and cheap un-repairable devices because one of our long standing enemies has convinced our government and us that we can use what they build then throw it away like bic lighters. They even sell them to us at a great discount compaired to what we make in our own country.

 

You can make your own tools, sure. But, I would rather have a tool that has been manufactured, that has been measured with precision, with a full warranty. When it breaks I call up the tool guy - it's there that day, if not, the next. If you really "use" you tools like they're intended for they will wear out/break, the extra money you spend on nice tools guarantees longevity (less time wasted; time is money), fuel (that cost money), usage of a vehicle to get to Harbor Freight/Parts Store (that cost money, adds to maintenance, etc.) spend a little more and buy nice tools. It's my opinion, yes but it works for me. You can always buy two full sets of Craftsman/Husky/Koblat tools and when one breaks you just wait til its convenient to replace. But who ever does that?

 

cool pic's!

 

I am hoping to do my first oil change soon. That's kinda the same thing...right?
