Anyone offer engine building coaching??
I have read on Nasioc that there are some places in SoCal that offer engine building coaching/ guiding. Wanted to know if anyone up here offers this...

I don't know about SoCal, but Dema Elgin has a master class as part of the DeAnza Autotech program

That would be way fun! Drink some brews and build a motor at a professional shop with some pro mechanics. I'd pay extra to be part of the building process/gain knowledge experience.

I've done this with a couple people now. Definately have to charge extra for the time and definately no beer drinking during assembly 
.
If you're interested, give us a call and we can work it out. I've taught quite a few techs now and have a nicely organized procedure worked out.

All I gotta say is "Take the class if you can!", the guy's a text and mod book on legs and really cool to boot.

Yep... Dema is one of the smartest engine guys I've ever seen.
One has to realize that in addition to teaching for 40 years, owning one of the most important machine shops in the USA, developing much of what is now modern cam technology, he's also one of the guys who sets SAE Standards
