I never work on cars before, but I'm really excited, and love my car, I recently bought it, and it was running, but the carb doesnt work that great, so I took it off to replace it, and now that I took it off, I want to work on the engine, I want to keep it, I want to spend some money on it, so I want to make sure it runs great, I want performance on this car, how can I rebuild it, what do I need? and where to get the parts that I need?

 

Not to be crude, but that is a pretty big job to tackle with no experience - take it to a shop.

On the other hand, put the car aside as a long-term project, take some adult education courses on auto repair, buy some tools, gain experience and then go for it!!!

 

Yeah, I agree with GTA50, not even trying to be rude, if you have no mechanical experience rebuilding an engine is not where you want to start.

 

It can be done but as said before the person should have some mechanical experience. Not only remembering where everything goes but also which bolts and what torque. Then the extreme care in putting one together so that it will last. If you have somebody to help/ teach you and they are patient and you are a quick learner then I would say go for it. I can yank and rebiuld a motor except for machine work but I still prefer to have help pulling and dropping it back in for safety.
