fade-e Forums Junkie Location: Sydney Registered: June 2004	Re: where to learn Thu, 02 December 2004 11:07 i learnt cause my uncle was a lazy cunt! he used to be a mechanic once upon a time and he used to get me to do everything for him. i would ask what this and that is and why they are then, that sort of quiestioning and he was always happy to answer. from there i just learnt myself bout everything else really. what i have found out (but its not literally like this) is that if you take something out from here then put it back here and you shouldnt have to worry too much. simply if a bolt comes out then it goes back there, after a while you start to learn which bolt is which just by looking at it (i love that! people freak out and ask how did you know its the right one? ) me personally i can rad a million books and learn nothing untill i pull it apart and then the books will make sense. so my recommendation is if you wanna learn about motors then just buy a motor from the wrecker, get the manual for that motor and start stripping. obviously you will not know if it runs/works or anything but this way you will understand where things go, why they go there, how they affect the motor, why bolts are tightened at certain torque settings, etc, etc and then move on to a running car/motor. also as mentioned go work experience at a mechanic. lastly what i do is this, im really good friends with my mechanic so im always asking him stuff when i need so if you got a mechanis who is good at what he does then get to know him and ask him when needed. iv always found that mechanics are always happy to answer questions (thats my experiences though) BUT always expect that a mechanic will always end up asking why? mine does all the time, why do you want to know this/that? why are you doing this/that? why waste your money? the WHYs never end... i answer 'are you gonna do it for free for me?' the answer is always NO followed by the answer to my question [Report message to a moderator]
