Have you not access to a car somewhere?
I used to take my Mums car to bits to learn about how it all worked.
as in - "I think your cylinder head needs a decoke mum - give me some money and I'll do it for you thereby saving you money at a
garage."
Then spend the weekend stripping it down, cleaning it up and putting it back together. use the money for gaskets and consumables 
(hope she doesn't drive a ferrari or something )
"That thing you're thinking - it wont be that."

it should be fairly easy to find one, but you might need to take it out of a scrap car
I got 3 for free that way (from next door), but they are already in bits - sorry
