I did not grow up with a love for cars like most had, I grew up dealing with cars like my mother had...Take it to the shop. I have now gotten older and have found that I like to do the work myself on my car.
So I guess my real question is should I attempt to assmble the lower end of motor myself? or should I rely on the shop to do that?
thx

There is no reason that you cannot assemble the motor yourself. You'll need some pointers here and there but, in my opinion, there is absolutely no reason not to do so and you'll be glad that you did.
