IMHO a KA is not worth rebuilding. just buy another one and use it while it lasts.
I couldn't disagree with you more. Watching the videos beforehand will give you a better idea what you're are about to jump into. It should give you an idea if this is something you REALLY want to attempt.

If you decide to go for it, this is the perfect engine to learn on. Why? Because they are relativity cheap and if he ends up ruining this one who cares. It's not his daily driver, and it doesn't appear that he is pressed for time to get it done. If he takes it slow and asks questions on this forum, I see no reason why he wouldn't be successful. Regardless how it turns out he will have gained a ton of knowledge. It's just a stock KA rebuild, not a fully built RB26.

btw, do you have the thread about the RB26 build you mentioned? Sounds like a fun read.
