.....I prefer to have someone like Monty Barrett put my engine together and test it on a dyno before first flight.
Yes, everyone needs to save money but this is one area where there is no substitute for experience. I've considered doing it and finally decided it is not worth the money saved as I am convinced not everyone can do a decent job assembling an engine - especially me.
Just food for thought for guys sitting on the fence with regard to this subject.....the money saved on a basic panel vrs all the glass goodies available these days will go a long way toward a professionally built engine.
