   This book has very good early in the blue engine (as its name suggests), but tends to be more Chevy / American motor oriented. With a return on imports of these days (European and Japanese four straight and six legs straight, bend cam v-tec, and four or five heads of the valve), an updated version of a large area is necessary. appropriate photographs make the text easy to understand, and stakeholders is simple. If you are not a professional engine builder, at least you’ll know what to ask for the next time you visit the machine shop. Rating: 3 / 5

   This book provides the information needed to help move towards the development or improvement of major motor skills of the construction. What is not and should not have the numbers for your particular combination. For example: If you build a small block Ford, you do not say that the height of your PIN must be XYZ ABC with stroke. What it does is tell you how to use precision tools needed to assemble the cylinder heads, short blocks (including degreeing the camera) and all the necessary formulas to rate compression, CID, etc. etc. The material is well presented and full of a lot of good unbiased information common to a particular brand of motor. Although the pieces of small-block Chevy is pictorialized throughout the book, text and information apply to any motor. An example that describes how to verify the length and geometry of the rocker button alone is worth $. . . . Impressive, is the engine full of Blues reading without forcing them to go step by step, but given in a logical order. Be careful. Rob! Rating: 4 / 5

   I bought and read several books on motor Blues before starting my project 396 stroker LT1. Voeglin book is a step by step, unless its been revised since I read it, but it flows in a logical order. What he has is one of the best tips and more complete than to see and why. This book is not for all Plastigauge: You need a set of micrometers and, preferably, a dial of the measuring head, etc really teach you how to use them. As most of these books, which revolves around the small block Chevy, but is not specific to them: it provides information in many places away from the Mopar and Ford Chevrolet. Rating: 5 / 5

   This book is full of valuable information – a great text. He is the best book I’ve read the engine and tried many. The author writes well and this is not just repackaging information otherwise the book the car. In fact, it’s almost an overload and may be even better with some tools to help put this together for someone who wants to apply this information to your own project. For the author – that can really tie the information as well as through the establishment of checklists at the end of the book, the most useful forms that you already own. You can provide a variety of checklists for the preparation and suggested mods for different levels of performance. You can add a project planning guide and checklist. You can add a suggested sequence of tasks of planning and implementation of an engine project. Also, for those who do not want to do their own work equipment – tips on how to choose a good repair shop. In addition, we now know that exposure to various solvents, oils, oils and other chemicals can cause a variety of acute and chronic diseases. The book’s illustrations are great, but to show people with their bare hands to perform various tasks that may expose their skin to potentially harmful substances, some of which may be harmful if absorbed through the skin. A large number of motor vehicle / machine shop that my volatile chemicals which can also create a risk of inhalation. It is also important to clean the chemicals off your skin before eating, smoking or support his wife and children. A few simple precautions can reduce or eliminate potential adverse effects of these exposures: ready thin nitrile gloves (still have good tactile qualities and help reduce the time to wash their hands and exercise), frequent hand washing (especially immediately after accidental or intentional – Exposure to chemicals in the skin), adequate ventilation, labeling of chemicals, MSDS (if you know what chemicals are those that are very bad), the replacement products hazardous chemicals with less dangerous, in which storage is possible, hazardous materials properly to prevent fire or spill. To preserve our environment for our children, reuse or recycling of chemicals, proper disposal of hazardous waste, to keep harmful chemicals out of reach of children, and teach your learners engine builders / brokers / practices Machinists good compliance chemicals. Finally, it would be a good example to demonstrate the proper use of goggles or masks in the pictures. These precautions should not be restrictive. Good masks, gloves, ventilation and safety boxes are designed to enable you to work unhindered. These are offered as constructive suggestions to make a book even better. Thanks for the great information. You helped me in my project. I will look for other books by the press for you. Rating: 5 / 5
