5.0 out of 5 stars Engine Repair & Rebuilding Book Review, January 23, 2009

By	Bruce Wilbur (LIttleton, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Good information and overall well written. The book is has several typos and words that appear to have been spell checked into words that don't fit the text. Also found one incorrect diagram in the classroom manual so far. Other than the previously noted typo's it is a very good book and I would recommend it to anyone studying to be an automotive tech. It is also a good primer for the ASE certification test as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Helpful For Anyone Interested In Engine Repair!!!, August 13, 2008

By	Brian J. Hanson "Engine Expert" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have read several books on engines and this one is by far one of my treasured favorites. It is very detailed and has loads of information. I personally run one of the largest national remanufactured and used engine companies [...] selling thousands of engines each year.

It is important as a leader in the industry to stay polished on my knowledge of engines, and this book has helped in so many ways. This book would be helpful for car buffs who tool around on the weekends and powerful enough for the nations best mechanics. Well worth the price!!!!
