Unless your specifically concerned with an RB25DET motor, grabbing an old motor thats shit itself from the wreckers and gettings its manual is the best way to go.

Thats all we do in automotive at tafe. Get old motors, tear them down, rebuild then to get a pass there must be X amount of oil Pressure and water running through it.....Fun times and not too hard either!!

were they 120Y engines by any chance... did abit of work on them at tafe at some basic corse in year 10.....

how long is that course in tafe? is it full time? if it is a once a week kinda thing then I'm seriously thinking of taking it

Although Ive learnt the majority of my knowhow through my dad (replacing clutches, engines etc) I did it for two years just out of personal interest. Its the exact course that you have to do to become a mechanic.

We basically ranged from the basic shit like oil changes, compression tests, taking wheels off, doing allignments blah blah blah, to engine re-builds, tappet adjustments (head work), taking apart suspension systems, diagonising problems etc and abit of Electrical work

hahahhaha infact some of the guys wired one of the commodores up so that when you put your foot on the brake all the lights come on and the horn goes off.

I even made a fuel line for a car had to get all the correct bends, with allot of Oxy torch work etc was good.

Im not 100% sure how good every tafe is but I did mine at Brookevale tafe (local) which was cool, they have an old dyno that you can put your car on etc. They'll supply you with overalls and steel capped boots if you dont have them aswell so yeah its not too bad to do.

/End boring rant.
