At some point, every "car guy" learns to specialize in what they themselves know. Engines, transmission and installing glass are just a few things that I leave to the pros like Jake, Len, McMark, etc. Eventually you realize that the costs in tooling and time are not worth it - you'll never get it back. I will eventually rebuild a Type 4 for my own understanding, but I'll never get the HP out of it that those guys do. Sometimes it's better to just spend the $ and trust that you're not being (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif). They're good peoples.
