Post(s) like this make it seem like this person may have a lot to learn if they want start doing/getting things right.
Just asking because I don't know really anything about building engines
If you read the thread I just started, you'll see I have a fair bit of knowledge about my cm871. I knew nothing about any cummins engine when I started reading rawze's posts on another forum in 2013. I was interested in the detail he presented even though I didn't own a cummins at the time. My Mack burned down in Dec. 2014, and the knowledge I'd gained reading Rawze's posts gave me the confidence to buy a used Pete with a cm871 in it in March 2015. At that point I still had zero hands on experience with any Cummins. Indeed I'd done precious little beyond replacing lights and shocks on ANY truck. Fast forward and you can read my current thread. I've learned a LOT. But its taken time and dedication to figuring it out little by little. I think thats what Rawze was trying to say about having a lot to learn. Not really knowing anything isn't the problem. We all start there. Its the drive to learn that's important. As you can read, I've made lots of mistakes and failed a few times. Not quitting when you mess up, and giving yourself permission to be wrong and fail is necessary if you are going to take risks and try to get better.
