| + | ===Disassembly and Assembly=== | ||
| + | Disassembly and assembly may be difficult to explain in a generic "How to rebuild an engine" context. Various makes of engines have different disassembly and assembly methods. Also, fuel-injected and carbureted engines have different procedures for assembly and disassembly. | ||
| + | |||
| + | One option is to have separate sections for some example Chevy, Ford, and Mopar engines. Or, ultimately, we could have separate articles; for example: "How to rebuild a 454 Chevy engine". The separate, engine-specific articles could be linked to from the main "How to rebuild an engine" article. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Another option is to have a generic main section that covers disassembly/assembly procedures that are common to most, if not all engines. Then, we could have separate smaller sections that address specific procedures for 3 popular makes of engine. However, if we are going to specifically address certain engines, then I think we should be very cautious in our selections, and express some originality. For example, if we are going to cover a popular Chevy engine, perhaps the 350 would not be the best choice. --[[User:Jon|Jon]] 11:41, 20 August 2006 (PDT) | ||

| + | == General Comments == | ||
| + | |||
| + | I've already started editing the article for clarity and additional content but here are my general comments: | ||
| + | #The article needs to be trimmed down. | ||
| + | #Use of "I" in an informative article such as a wiki should never be used unless it is in quoted material, and "you" should be used sparingly. Article should also be gender neutral. (Not all of us are "fellows.") | ||
| + | #Though there is a need and desire for original material, in order to have a quality article/site, sources other than community authors should be cited to support statements whenever possible. | ||
| + | #As recommended by another user, there should be information provided regarding common practices of assembly/disassembly with references to procedures specific to particular engines/builds. A link to a list of links to available procedures would be very useful. | ||
| + | #Where content is noticeably lacking or awaiting additional content contribution, I have begun to indicate it as <<subject name / content desired>>. | ||
| + | #Quoted/excerpted material should be indented from both sides, if possible, and italicized. | ||
