I’d also like to do a lot of the work myself and was wondering if anyone here has any recommendations on reading materials or videos, to help me understand what’s under the hood and how everything works. I’m literally itching for information because I want to learn, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
WoodyGen6. I totally sympathize with you, I hadn't had a clue about practically anything related to cars until about 5 years ago, no exaggeration at all, and I'm not exactly a teenager. Then I saw a 5th gen Camaro in a parking lot.... fast forward to today, while I'm still a relative noob compared to many seasoned folks here, at least I can do the simpler mods myself now and have an idea what happens when I floor it

Here is a video that is both educational and will make you very proud: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showt...=446288&page=2, post #45 and down. It has a segment about assembling your V6 engine, and a very entertaining watch overall.
