Rebuilding Tools?
Hey, to all the re-builders around here... i have a few questions...
1. Where is a place to get all of the tools and such for rebuilding?(micrometers,dial calps and soforth... all those not so comon tools...)
2. Im thinking of starting to do rebuilds on the side for extra cash... good idea? bad idea?(not stealing any bussiness from kevin or anyone, just for friends and locals, and myself of course) This will be ofcourse after ive done mine atleast 4-5 times...
If im looking to just be able to yankem apart and putem back together... and do basic rebuilds, how much should the "tools" cost me? and im asumming in an engine stand and hoist and all.... everthing but the basic tool socket set(thats all i got now...) I have a compressor, but its being gay and i cant use it...(2-4hp 8gal, 115cfm@90psi)
How much is it going to set me back to be able to do this atleast once every 5 months(asumming ether mine or someone else)
so what do you guys think, should i go ahead and asemble all the tools and find a blown engine and attempt my first rebuild? Ive got the Bruce Taurrentine Vid as a guide(which btw, that thing is awsome, I feel like i can do it right the first time)
This is honestly one of the main reasons i wanted my first 7, so that i could learn to build the engines and become a specialist...
Leme know what you think and how much its going to take for me to be able to do this to a point that maybe id be my bread and butter

yeah.... i shoped there.... i used to like it untill i bought my compressor there...
I bought it, pulled it out, pluged it in and fliped the switch... nothing... and its been that way since... and i lost the warrenty papers... more or less rightnow a $100 paperweight(no anyone that could help me fixer?)
I didnt think theyd have micrometers and stuff though...

Note: I do not own a shop, nor do I build engines for others.
