Good to meet you. You may already know, but the biggest collection of triples information in the world is here:

http://www.kawtriple.com/mraxl

Ask for advice here before you buy stuff, pay people to do work for you, or make decisions like whether or not to rebuild your crankshaft. The guys here have been through it many times before.

Sort of. It's not as complete as others but I've made a ton of mistakes and asked a bunch of rookie questions...
