I remember building my first engine Gerhard. It was a rewarding experience for a teenager. I made several mistakes but still really enjoyed it. All of your experience from former jobs as a machinist have given you a strong understanding of the exact tolerances required to do the job right. That American engine will run better than new... now it has German engineering as well!!
