The thread on the loss of compression and the posts about pulling the jugs and checking clearances and tolerances was yet another reminder about a reality for me: I don't know **** about engines.
I don't know how to pull a cylinder. I don't know WHEN to pull a cylinder. I don't know what to do about a stuck valve even if I had one, which I don't.
I'm wondering if there is some reasonably efficient way of learning these things with, perhaps, some hands-on practice that might tell me what tools I need and help me understand what the builder/owner is capable of when it comes to servicing an engine in a given situation?
