I have an Idea!

I’ve been making plans to build my ultimate engine first crack out of the box. While I have been around and nothing that I am planning on doing is outside of my abilities, the fact is that I have never opened up this particular engine and I’ve never built an engine from scratch. So what I am thinking is that I should build an engine or two before I dive in with a big project.

What I plan to propose to my project partner is that I just build an engine without too much focus of the goals (outside of reliability) and do it on the cheap. Having been a repair business I know people and have accounts with parts suppliers that offer me smokin’ deals on some stuff. So I would build a solid 50k mile engine. Then I would take the engine that is already in the Jeep and build it how my friend wants it. And then I would build the engine and take it to the limit.

Even with this plan though I need to know what I am trying to learn so I can build an engine that will work for the application.

I’ll have to run that by him and see what he thinks.
