I have the atikins dvd, and it's good for tear down and rebuild. What it doesn't have is a section on used parts inspection. Pineapple racing has a number of online videos that are helpful in that regard. Never having actually done a rebuild, I don't know what else I might be missing though.

I found the Atkins video to be very helpful for my first build...I rebuilt a 90 na with no rebuilding experience and the video was a great reference...highly recommend!

Actually i'm in the middle of my 1st rebuild now and I got all the videos because you take away a little from each as they all have their own little tips and tricks. As far as mechanical experience all I can say is that I work on all my cars by my self as a hobbyist.

when i rebuilt mine i got the bruce turrentine video, it was great covered everything you want for a first time builder, teardown, cleaning, inspection, parts and assembly. It was a great tool and was very helpful throughout the process.

( i probably sound very biased, but i've only seen this video)

I have this one and the Atkins DVD. I think the one above is more descriptive.

I've luckily not had to do a rebuild myself, yet.

barnett good looks .. i've did some research on here and most people said that was a better video

bunta.. i did the search to find the links..thank though .. i might end up buying all three.. idk .. might just get the RA dvd first .. peep that out .. then move on to the next ..

it would be nice if there was some jerz guys on here that would be willing to help a first timer become a true rotorhead .. and not just spend hella money to get one built/rebuilt lol
