I am just wondering how many people out there have rebuilt there own engines? I have done a few and would rather due it myself, but some people are not that way. I learned alot from doing it myself, something you don't get letting someone else do it for you.

I rebuilt my first engine a few weeks ago. It was a 13B 4 port. My next engine may be a 20B. I'll just see how the MMO treatment works out.

I always build my own motors, and do my own porting too. After one bad experience, I dont trust anyone to do my motor for me...

If shops will cut corners if they can get away with it! I think that bad shop rebuilds have killed more Rx7's than anything else!
