Default Piston engine 101 Course?

Does anyone know of a one-day course on non-fuel-injected piston
aircraft engines? Sort of an Engines 101? Six-cylinder preferred;
Continental 0-300 ideal. Advanced Pilots Seminars has an extensive
course on piston engines but it's far more advanced than I need. I'd
like someone to walk me through the basics of my engine from a
seasoned rebuilder's perspective. I'd like a first-hand view of what
happens to various engine components as it relates to engine
management. I'd like to see (real metal; not a video or book) what
might result from running too lean, too rich, too hard, too seldom,
too low on oil, or with too much oil. Stuck valves, improper
break-ins, broken rings, bad bearings, improper timing, etc. All with
the idea of being able to use the information to better operate my
engine. Any ideas?
