I have heard that most shops are booked a year out at his point, so more people are thinking of trying to rebuild an engine themselves. Too bad there a not more videos of how to rebuild a flat head engine. I know when I did mine, it involved numerous discussions with club members that had done their own engine work, along with reading numerous articles and books. I still have a nice collection, in 3 ring binders, that I used. Not ot mention the numerous pictures ans videos I did along the way. (unfortunately, when my computer crashed I lost the videos. I can't say it enough, that you should back up your pictures and videos everyday, during a project.) I was lucky and mine turned out great. Now if anything goes wrong with the engine, I am not afraid to repair it myself, which is a good thing, in light of the lack of shops that ware willing to work on them at this point.
If you build the engine yourself, when someone responds to your question/post, you will be able to do the repairs yourself. If you follow the Ford Bard, Facebook etc on a regular basis, it is not too long between the posts, requesting, if any one knows of someone that can work on their engine.
The way I look at it, if you only got one hint that works for you, that was one more than you had before you watched the video. I just wish more of the shops would do more videos on the repair and rebuilding of the flat head engine. I don't think they are in danger of loosing too much business to the self builder.s out there!
