Pro Engine Blueprinting (Motorbooks Workshop) Review

Pro Engine Blueprinting (Motorbooks Workshop)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
While not an expert, I am also not a novice engine builder. So, buying a book titled "Pro Engine Blueprinting" I had certain expectations. Mainly, I expected to see either an intelligent discussion of advanced concepts or at least the specific viewpoint of an expert on these advanced topics. Instead, the book is at a very basic level. It does describe some rudimentary aspects of engine building in a very basic manner. The editing is poor and there are many typos. I do not reccomend this book. But if you are a novice and still want it, I am selling my copy!

This book has lots on theory and operation. It even covers diagnosis. I do not recomend this book if you want to learn more about modifying fords. There is about ten pages out of 172 covering performance. All of the modify section can be learned from looking at a 5.0 magazine.

The only thing I wish this book would have, that it DOESN'T, is color photos. Everything else, the info, numbers, photos, and the fact that it is VERY up to date, to include 05+ Mustangs, is SPOT ON. Couldn't be better.
I would definately reccommend this to ANYBODY wanting to learn how to build higher performance OHV 5.0, and Modular 4.6 and 5.4 Ford Small Block V8s.

Maximum Boost: Designing, Testing, and Installing Turbocharger Systems (Engineering and Performance) Review

Maximum Boost: Designing, Testing, and Installing Turbocharger Systems (Engineering and Performance)
Average Reviews:

This book is very well written. It handles a lot of the basic turbo knowledge that most enthusiast's need to know. What was dissapointing was that there is no real turbo sizing theory, fan blade effientcy equations or a lot of detail in a few other areas. None the less, the book is only about turbo systems and is the easiest to read. This is a great book to read. You may also want to get "Turbochargers" from Hugh MacInnes, it's also a must have, but is out of date and is not very useful on the modern EFI machines. I do like "Force Induction" by A. Graham Bell. A book that is much more knowlegable on the subject of performance turbos. It's always a good idea to get opinions of other great writers.

Engine Builder's Handbook Review

Engine Builder's Handbook

Having rebuilt three of my own engines over the last year, I was looking for hints and tips to improve my results and to raise my skill level. From the very beginning of the book, Monroe's attention to detail and common sense approach has done just that for me. This book is worth reading by anyone who has an interest in engines and rereading before any engine rebuild. I highly recommend it.
