I'm with you Mike. Both of these boys are lightyears ahead of where I was at their ages. Good job Mom and Pop.

I hear that one loud and clear... same with the placement of each rod and cap to the respective cylinder. I was installing mine and just got lucky after installing the first one when I realized they were numbered; just by chance I had installed number 6 into the 6th cylinder.make sure you match the specific caps to their respective con rods before you install them . May or may not have messed up on that one....
Pretty sweet. Lucky kid! Great dad and good friend Ryan, @CaptClose with the mean facial expressions. You guys are funny.

After being corrected on @AdamRonaldsons thread this AM, and saw the link for @Cowboy45s thread there, I am thoroughly impressed. I foresee in a handful of years if my son still loves hands on work, I'll need to get another truck for him to rebuild. I had hoped to get him involved with my 2F engine rebuild now but I am finding my anxiety and control issues are too big to let him do much at 6.5 years of age.
Thanks... We have done it w/ a lawn mower engine all the way down and a DVD player. He really thought it was awesome to see the little fan run off a couple jumpers and a battery. And yes I have a nice tool box, the old school red metal kind and a tool bag of kid sized really nice tools. He already knows the majority of the tools and their names. (As I said, it’s MY anxiety and control issues stopping me from having him involved in the engine.)Those stay in the house and I use them all the time. A socket and wrench set to add to it is in the list.Hands on work is huge in our family. Not the two thumb media kind. My kids do great at school, but there is a huge void I try to fill. Buy him some cheap Goodwill appliances (<$5) and have him tear them apart on the kitchen counter without worry of putting it back together. Confidence building. If he can put it back together that’s even better. A small HF tool box of his own basic stuff is empowering. Helping identify the right tool to use for each thing helps. With confidence, greater things can happen. He is at a good age to start.
