Trying to avoid knowing about it?

Put it this way: What was it like the first time you needed to adjust valves? What was it like the first time you changed a timing chain / timing belt? What was it like the first time you dealt with a broken crankshaft?

Dealing with rust is much like any other automotive problem - it is dealt with by many many mechanics - so how hard can it be?

I´m actually really impressed with the purchase I made - it is 99% solid - the car is older than me - I need more help than that car!
