[QUOTE="mc01svt, post: 15605306, member: 32337"] you learn by doing but i must warn you that building a stroker engine is alot more intensive than just "bolting the parts together." The biggest issue with building an engine in your garage is you don't have the equipment to verify the machining is correct on the block and crank. A few things off by a mere .005" can be enough to destroy your whole engine. You cant exactly check cylinder bore diameters, deck squareness, camshaft bore alignment, bearing clearances..etc with a tape measure. Unless you have money to blow i would recommend sticking with crate engines from reputable companies. If you do build yourself make sure you don't get the block machined at "billy bobs automotive" go to the best machine shop you can find. Not trying to discourage you just being realistic. [/QUOTE]
