Learning about cars

How hard is it to learn about an engine and how things work and what they are called in a car? I got a book from the library called auto mechanic fundamentals. Its a great book, and so far I've learned about pistons,piston pins,connecting rods,main bearings,cylinders,blocks,cylinder heads, valve ports,fly wheels,and a few other things. So far, im only on page 10 and im kind of intimidated. There are 569 pages in the book and well, i'm just wondering if you guys who restore your cars know all these things. Do you guys know every piece of an engine or do u guys kind of wing it? Thanx for any replies - Andrew
