well thats my main problem my dad know enough about cars to do small repairs. it took my 4 months to put together my first motor (though not proud to admit) because i didnt have anyone but a few friends to help. that motor ran for about 5sec before it blew up due to parts put in the wrong place (like nuts and bolts inside the intake port of my head) but thanks for what you told me i think that this site has taught me more than any one else thanks RJ and all of the members
