yeah man, i know what you mean. i do it because it's what i love to do, not for the money (obviously, cuz i'm broke). there's alot to be said for waking up in the morning and not thinking "fuck, i have to go to work, i hate that place". it makes the rest of your life alot easier.
i'd rather help someone who's really interested in what i do than shun them off and not show them anything. that's bad for buisness too. i know i'd much rather deal with a shop where i know people, and where they treat me like a real human being, not just some random customer.

like i said man, if you want someone to help you out tearing down your motor, let me know. if you really want to learn, i won't do it for you, b/c you'll never learn that way, but i'll supervise, and make sure it goes like it's supposed to. i've learned ALOT of lil tricks over the years that can save alot of time and effort getting it done right, the first time.
