I've been a builder for 40 years. Done lawnmowers, tractors, aircraft, boats, you name it, even did a Merlin 60 series in a Mustang.
There is no engine anyone can't rebuild with a manual (need the numbers) and some time, time is the "KEY" word here, take plenty of it and inspect everything before and while it goes together. This is how we learn, an engine is an engine is an engine. Last project was a Porsche 911 engine that dyno'd at 576 hp, on gas, good fun. The sticker in the back window reads "I just had a V8"
Just remember this; Any part that raises a shadow of doubt, goes in the trash. You will never be able to expect an engine with marginal, internal components to perform like it should, much less last. Want to run them hard? They better be right.
Right now I'm in a 3 cylinder Jap diesel engine where one cylinder liner cost close to $200.00. The old liners have .005 to go, they are being replaced along with everything else. The worst thing you can do is skimp on a rebuild. If you do, eventually the hot oily pieces will be all yours my friend.
