Well my dad is a packaging engineer (yes he designs boxs/display shelving) so he wouldn't be what you would call super knowledgeable about cars untill you look at when he grew up. His older brother was a huge gearhead and my dad was wrench ***** pretty much. He learned off him doing jobs like watching ect. Then I learned only very basic stuff from him like changing a tire and how to replace disk brakes. Everything else I learned has been from GPF and the internet and the awesome guys like Bill, and Scottydogs. My first major job was valve cover gaskets and it took roughly 8 hours or more because I wanted to get everything right and I still ended up messing up. But you learn from the mistakes.

I say just drive right in, do research on the job before you start. If you get stuck and can't find an answer ask questions.
