I hear you guys,

And again thank you for all the info. I could go on a long rambling story about my mechanical background, but sufficient to say I have no real formal training, just what I find in manuals and youtube. It's why I ask a lot of questions on here. I've got a manual on the way for a 78 Volare which should help. I have done quite a bit of work on a 94 Nissan Pathfinder and a VW beetle which is where I got the idea of working on an engine. The way I look at it I have to start somewhere and I simply don't have the time to attend formalized training courses anymore, I have looked. I even volunteered at an auto shop for awhile, but moved so that ended. Just not a lot of people out there who have the interest to show some stranger what they know, hence why I have appreciated this forum so much. I'm trying to build that foundation, but I will have obvious seeming questions. To be clear on the bolts issue, I do have the basic understaning of bolt types, first job was in an ACE hardware, lol. No hard feelings.
