Editorial Review: Product Description: "HP Books HP1245 Engine Builders Handbook This illustrated guide will show you, step-by-step the processes that can be applied to build any kind of engine. You'll find all kinds of tips, techniques, and procedures that can be used on engines for muscle cars, hot rods, classics, boats, or full on race cars. And it's all here in terms that are easy to understand and fully illustrated with hundreds of photos and drawings. There are sections that cover reconditioning blocks, degreeing in camshafts, reconditioning cylinder heads, valve train assembly, and engine assembly. You'll also learn the proper use of measuring tools. This book is an invaluable aid if you've never built an engine before and a handy reference if you're an experienced enthusiast." Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Engine rebuildingVery dissappointed in the detail provided on engine rebuilding. I did not learn a single new method or trick for rebuilding. Rating:  - Read this book firstbefore you start your rebuild. Concise, readable, inexpensive and very informative. Rating: - The ideal engine rebuilders book at a bargain price.After I had read both books on Nissan engines by this author I bought this book too.This book is set out so you can diagnose faults first to determine if you need to rebuild or not.Then it goes into engine teardown in detail.It describes the rebuilding process.The cylinder heads are covered in a separate chapter which the author explains.

I mean you won't learn 20 years worth of experience from any book, but this one is well written and kinda lets you know when you are leaving some horses out on the bench. Rating: - Engine buildersI purchased this book for the mention in the title of degreeing cams, I DO NOT deal with automotive engines- I am a Motorcycle Mechanic. I still found this book informative and interesting. Browse for similar items by category:
