I've never built an engine before but I'm fairly technically inclined. I work in the precision machining industry and know a fair bit about measuring, tolerances, blueprints, and generally good mechanical practices. I also used to work on aircraft in the Air Force. So I have fairly good knowledge of how technicians should perform work.
I'm considering building an EJ25 from scratch. I'd like to start with a bare block and just work at my own pace. Are there any obvious markings I should look for or look to avoid when choosing a block? I know the difference between an open and a closed deck. Wondering if there was some nuance that I should keep in mind.
I'm sure I'll have additional questions as I go and I'll try to keep in all in this thread.
Thanks
