Hi!
Does anyone know a good guide or set of videos to guide me through an engine rebuild. Sounds mad but I fancy buying a cheap 306 1.6 petrol engine and rebuilding it! What's involved and is it fun? J

Best way to learn is doing just what your thinking of doing
 There are plenty of engine rebuild videos on youtube, although likely none on that specific engine, the same principles largely apply to all engines... The 8v TU is a very simple / straight forward little motor to do... So a good starting point. Is it fun? Depends really, but you will learn a tonne about how the engine works, and get a good bit of experience in the process imo | Dyno Power Runs & Steady State Facilities Available, Just Ask Anytime |

Good to hear its a good engine for it! Any particular tools I'll need do you think? Is that engine aluminium? Wary of stripping bolt threads !
Where could I find out how much that engine weighs? Thinking a swivel engine stand might be pretty handy ! |
