Help an old man attept a rebuild
Never tried anything like this before! I am a 60 year old diamond setter. Still have decent hands and brains........ but i need some help..... i've driven 7's since 1979 but have not done much work at all on them. For some reason i have decided i want to purchase, rebuild and port a 12-a engine. I will have 6 months or so to do this in. My question to you gentlemen is where to start. A list of books, sites, ect would be of great help. Or..... am i insane to even try this???? (Please... no old fart jokes!!!)

Best spot for learning how to rebuild and port is the Engine Building and Porting section over at NoPistons.com. When you download the manuals, get both the 79 and 85 versions. There are also several different rebuild videos out. Rotary Aviation, Atkins and Kiwi-RE.
