Rating: - get this book and start wrenching!
a great book for the first time engine builder. this book breaks down engine rebuilding system by system and gives you a solid foundation on engine rebuilding. the author covers valvetrain components and function in depth including a chapter on camshaft theory. the book for some reason doesnt cover induction systems all that well, however its still a must have book

- Engine rebuilding
Very dissappointed in the detail provided on engine rebuilding.I did not learn a single new method or trick for rebuilding.
Rating: 
- Read this book first
before 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.
For anyone who loves working on cars this book is ideal.Its written so most people will understand it.There are plenty of photos throughout with explanations.This ... Read More
Rating: - Sometimes it helps to just read the instructions.
Having built several motors for my cars and helping a few friends (each) build a few motors, it was good to just solidify what I knew, and double check those "I thought so" things. 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.
