I've learned that Wyotech, Lincoln Tech, UTI are just a place to donate $20k or so and the only thing they teach you is that as soon as you get a job after school, buy yourself $5k in tools and put them in a $8k Snap-On Toolbox.

Yea im learning all of this stuff for the 1st time....so its all good for me.....all the kids down there sound like boomhower from king of the hill heh and yea most of them are *******......hey salesmonkey are you going to the blairsville campus or the wyoming one?.....unless you have to go to blairsville for a certain reason.....change and go somewhere else it sucks so bad .......yea i wish i had some money the build a turbo kit....only things i have are downpipe that needs bent a different direction.dsm flange....(free) i have a evo bov (free) uhh i have some steel braided lines that i assume are oil lines but i havent really checked yet its like 21/2 to 3 feet long........i have an oil return....and a rhb5 that has a crack in the exaust housing.....30 bucks plus shipping if anyone wants it by the way....one of the kids i live with said hell sell me 330cc injectors and a very good condition 14b and whatever else i need for $250 i think i might do it eventually......but i dont know what to do about the compression and weak rods in the d16z6 i dont have the money for new ones and i dont have the means to blow it up......anything i can do like thicker head gasket or anything to lower the comp a little...i dont know what the compression ratio is as it sits now though......hopefully like 9:1 any of you guys know?

d16z6's aren't that weak and already have low compression....9.2:1 to be exact.

i read in a honda mag that they have pencil like rods....so i figured they didnt make it up...nice to know that they arent that weak....able to be at 9 pounds on a 14b with no problem then....that means i could just put a thicker head gasket on it and drop it down a tad bit more and boost it....sweet...

Ive learned a lot from becoming an apprentice at shops. Ive seen ghetto mechanics do things that arent taught in books. I respect them a lot. I personally get satisfaction out of completing projects that are automotive related. I try really hard to immitate factory engineering.
I guess school is a good place to start with basics, and SOMETIMES employers feel comfortable hiring someone with some sort of certification, or education.
I really wish I would have paid more attention to physics when I was in school.
