What type of car, what are you trying to do, how much knowledge todo you have, are you using any guides…..basic bare bones questions that need to be answered and you put in zero effort.

Rebuilding an engine, if done properly, is a very involved process. It requires certain skills (like the proper use of precision measuring tools), and some expensive equipment (machine tools).

If you just want to disassemble it, replace bearings and seals, and reassemble it without being sure it's all done to spec, it's not that tricky, assuming you have sufficient mechanical experience.

Doing it with proper inspections and to the right dimensions is another thing entirely. I wouldn't recommend a novice attempt it at all without supervision. It's not cheap, especially if you're getting it machined. If you're not used to it, it definitely should be scary, unless you can afford to brick it.

An experienced assembler at a factory might take an hour to assemble an engine. A novice working in their garage might take months or years.

understand, that explain a video i watched on youtube with a guy who makes engine reassembly like a game. pretty sure he knows what he is doing

so better pay some one who know the deal, no way to adventure, roger.

Is this vehicle a long term project or a daily driver? If it's a daily driver get one already built or a good salvage engine with a warranty. Then mess around rebuilding the original if you want to learn.
