You can. you just have to get into it. My Dad was a mechanic when I was growing up. Had a limited education, 5th grade. I was embarrassed at what he did for a living and refused to go help him at the shop. I decided I wanted to work in an office. This was when I was 10 to 17 years old. After I left home, Dad started his on parts store and became quite a financial success. Somewhere about my 18th year, he really got some smarts. Later in life, I needed a hobby and bought a 1954 Ford pickup. I started doing body work, building engines, restoring Mustangs and even bought a wrecking yard so I would have a play pen. My point is, I knew nothing until I jumped in and tore my first 289 down and rebuilt it. If you want to, just get after it.
My mom will tell you when I was growing up, they would buy me something and I would take the whole thing apart just to see if it would work after I put it back together. And sure enough, it did. I rather do it myself than pay someone to do it.

NOW that's what I'm talking about Jim. My mom will tell you when I was growing up, they would buy me something and I would take the whole thing apart just to see if it would work after I put it back together. And sure enough, it did. I rather do it myself than pay someone to do it.

Sounds just like me. But, sometime after I got it back together, it worked fine, but I couldn't figure out where the 3 bolts I had left over went. (tossed them in the trash) 
GOOD Morning Slackers.
