My VW bug engine blew up in the 1970’s. As a novice mechanic, I got the book “How to Repair your VW for the Complete Idiot”. I rented space in a garage in Columbia, MO called the Shade Tree Garage and with a little help from the owner, rebuilt the engine and it ran for tens of thousands of miles. In this modern era of specialized tools and computerized everything, I don’t think this kind of story is possible anymore.
