Im probably a 2, maybe a 2.5. I only really use the manual for specs. Swapped a few newer hondas and im always over at my friends shop and he definetely a 1 so im learing some stuff. Done a swap, pulled a head and replaced and stuff like that ALL by myself before so im probably a 2.

I'm prob. a 2.5, limited mostly by lack of tools and patience for doing things 'correctly' Rules to live by:
If a bolt head breaks then out comes the cordless drill (no tap, I jus drill a new hole)
There's a reason zip ties and bungee straps come in bundles. Use them fugally.
When in doubt hit it with a hammer
When in serious doubt you need a bigger hammer.
If all else fails hot glue, JB weld, and liquid steel work wonders
Buy duct tape in bulk, it'll save you trips to the store
Excessive cursing slows the bleeding of newly acquired wounds
GoJo is God
When you estimate a job, mulitply that time by 7 to get the actual time it will take to complete it
No breaker bar? Jus pipe it
Wiindy day + rusty job = your eyes will forsake you
"*grunt*...Shwit BAM! Owwwwww S!#% Godd#^&*$ you ^&*%$ $#%^&ing piece of $%^&" etc
