You will find many comments on the internet saying you need to spend $10,000, $20,000 or more to fit out a workshop before you can even THINK about building an engine yourself. While there is truth in the fact that this isn't done for free (whether you are paying someone to do the work for you or doing it yourself), you absolutely DO NOT need to spend tens of thousands!

In this free engine building lesson, the 4th of 4, we take a look at the tool cost myth, the caveats in our disagreement with it, and some of the ESSENTIAL and also just NICE TO HAVE tools when it comes to performance engine building in your own home workshop.

It's important to note off the bat that you will not be doing the work of an engine machinist at home, but there is still a LOT of work you can and will do to build and assemble your engine of choice with reliable and hopefully fun results on the other side of things.

The tools discussed include:
- Accurate Knowledge
- Mircometres/Micrometers
- Plastigauge
- Torque Wrench
- Dial Bore Gauge
- Scale
- Balancing Equipment
- Piston Ring File
- Ring Compressors
- Basic 'Common' Tool Kit (Sockets, Spanners, Screwdrivers, Pliers etc)

If you are building your own engine or plan to build one for your project track car, race car or performance street car, there will be value in at least 1, if not all, of the 4 lessons in this series, not to mention High Performance Aacdemy engine building course material should you choose to try it risk-free for 60-days before committing to lifetime access.
