You will learn a heap rebuilding an engine, just take your time with it 
First thing I ever did with cars was to do a full rebuild on a 2TG and fit it to my KE38 corolla. My rebuild consisted of new 40 thou OS pistons, o-rings, gaskets, bearings seals, timing chain etc etc. All surfaces were machined and the head was reconditioned.
The whole engine was cleaned, painted, polished and when finished it looked awesome sitting in the engine stand 
The most satisfying moment though is when it fires to life and actually works!
My first engine rebuild was pretty successful, I owned the engine for nearly 100 000km and it never missed a beat, never leaked a drop of coolant or oil and sounded tough (twin 40mm sidedraft carbies). It has since been sold and is still going strong in a celica.
I am keen to do another engine rebuild when time and money permit (or if something ever dies and a rebuild is forced upon me).
