It's not online, but this book is a great start: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...books&n=507846

I just picked these two up last night. Both seem pretty decent so far.

Wel, I've found that most websites aren't nearly as complete as any of those books. The other problem you run into is figuring out whether it's a reliable source.

Hmm... good point. Oh well I'd still like to take a look through some of the sites if they exist.

Basically just to get a good idea of what's entailed in the process...

My $.02.

If you're not willing to invest $20 in a book to learn what's involved, there's no way you'll spend enough money on the engine make the rebuild worthwhile.

No I'm not going to do my rebuild off of what I find on the internet... I've never done one before and I just want to get a quick overview of how it's done. And then if I think it's something I can tackle, then I'll go buy the book and do it.

I'll make a bet. You'll read the 10,000 ft overview and think no problem. Then you'll read the book and be like 'I dunno if this is such a good idea'...
