I wish I knew more about engines

You and me both, Rob. Theoretically I know how an engine works and what do does what but practically......Hmmm, not so sure now.

I've got an ever increasing pile of goodies building up here. Just haven't got a clue about how to fit them and terrified that if I did, there'd be an almighty crunch the first time I tried to turn over the engine. Followed by lots of smoke.
