Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very good book
This book is a very helpful tool when approaching a marine diesel engine. This is a good book that bridges the gap between the specific engine manual and my general lack of diesel engine knowledge. Nigel Calder is clear and understandable as always.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is a great book!!!
I try to read as many books on engines as I can. I own GotEngines.com and I always have a strong interest in learning more about each and every engine, especially diesel engines.

Unfortunately I carry very few marine engines, but as an engine expert I'd recommend this book to anyone!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another keeper from Calder
This is another fine reference book from Nigel Calder! I think that this book along with a good factory type manual would be all you needed to maintain your diesel engine. I have yet to purchase a book that Calder has authored that was not worth the money.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Clear and complete
Very helpful guide to understanding a diesel engine and all that relates to it. I will maintain my engine much better now!
It should be read before installing a new engine.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My use of Nigel's book
I am using, to great benefit, this book to rehabilitat the Mazda diesel engine in my 1983 Ford Ranger pick up. Also, since I share a sail boat in Vallejo, Calif with a brother, that has a diesel, my self confidence level is increased.
