Scott I am much the same way, I have done crank and main bearings in an afternoon on my back with the engine in my car just lifted up to get the oil pan off.

I have built and rebuilt a number of motors in my vehicles, but now I just do not know where to start, of course I really can not even see the engine on the GMC van I drive. [Linked Image]

I have a noise in the front end of my GMC Suburban and I think I may try to fix it my self this time.
