*Actually you have learned a lot about a lot of engines and before you are done you will know even more.* Unlike women they (diesel engines) are a lot more similar.*

You are gaining some basic skill sets that will carry over to a lot of engine types.* Valve adjustments, torquing head bolts, inspection of rocker arms for wear, push rods for trueness and much more.

Nothing like hands on training.* The real thrill comes when it starts and runs a advertised.* You will be grinning from ear to ear.* Take a picture and post it.
