just got the whole car built, yay, but I want to avoid making a fool out of myself and making the engine wear down faster than it normally does so I don't need to do a rebuild as often.

like, how to predict that a part is soon going to fail catastrophically, like the piston launching out of the engine and breaking the oil pan and stuff, or the battery dying on me.

but I don't want to have to rebuild the engine every time I go to Temos or whatever I want to be able to just go

so I guess how does some of my question is basically, how do I know how often a part needs to be replaced; how do I diagnose an issue before it becomes a big problem
