Agreed.
I'm on my 3rd engine pull since april with only 2-3 months running time. This time it's rod knock(ebay 7mgte).
I've done everything myself from no experience and learned more about cars then any of the fake gear heads I know. My mustang buddy who would talk mad trash about my mk3 when I got it and started tearing her apart, now cowers in my presence lol.
It takes a hell of lot longer cause you(well I do at least..) learn from your mistakes but I feel confident my engine will be tits after I redo my bottom end, because I was there.
If you're the type that has more money than time, well Kaizen and DM will give you pom.
