I'm considering buying a long block for cheap but it needs rings in one cylinder, so much as well do them all. I want to learn to build a bottom end to learn and save money too.
The helms manual made it seem easy except for all the measuring business (never built an engine before).

Can anyone explain this better if it's really necessary?
or
How could I make this job easier to do?

check the FAQ section. theres a complete guide on bottom end building

 

i was mostly referring to the measuring aspects of everything
