Im about to buy just a Ka24de. to build the motor up and gain some automotive knowledge.

I have no idea how an engine works except for the pistons go up and down and makes power lol. In other words i dont know SH*T.

my question to you is should i waste the money to but the ka which is like 300 bucks or just have some shop do it for some rediculous price.

Thanks for the input and im sure this has been covered like 90 times but im to lazy to search
