Hey Guys,
I'm thinking about building my first engine sometime in the spring of '05. I've never built one before but I want to learn how. I don't have alot of mechanical expierence just yet. Everything I've installed on my car has been for the first time. So far I've swapped suspension, and swapped out my stock civic brakes for 4-way teg discs. I consider myself pretty mechanically inclined because I take the time to research the proper methods of installation and what combo of parts work best for my desired application and everything so far has gone smoothly

Anyway, I'd like to built an N/A beast for street use. My car is my daily driver so reliability is my foremost concern.

What I'd like from you all is to point me in the right direction on how to get started with building an engine from the bottom up. Are there any sort of general guides that explain what every part in the engine does and how changing specs of one part would affect another working part? Stuff like that? I'm not looking for what parts work best with each other. I'm just looking for a general overview of how an engine is put together.

Thanks so much,

George
