Does anyone know of anything that a hobbist or someone who is interested to learn more about engine design and such can learn more? I've read this from another thread:

http://www.kec.com.au/courses_overview.html

Anyone know of anything similar in Melbourne? Not after something that would be training me to be a mechanic of a V8 supercar team, but something just that will teach a bit of basics and theory and such with good hands on.

The way I learned was to watch my dad do it once ... then buy a factory manual and do it myself. Once you have dome one, you realise it's only a matter of following instructions ( and knowing what they mean too ). Having the right tools is essential.
Though I am far from a guru I build my engines for myself these days and have never had a failure ( probably tempting fate with that )
