3.0 out of 5 stars IN DEPTH UP TO EARLY 90'S BUT IN NEED OF UPDATING, October 19, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Automotive Engine Performance: Tuneup, Testing, and Service Volume II-Practice Manual (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

I WAS DISAPPOINTED BY THE LACK OF UP TO DATE INFO. WHAT WAS COVERED WAS COVERED VERY WELL WITH EXCELLENT GRAPHICS, PHOTOS, AND EXPLANATIONS. HOWEVER THE PERIOD COVERED WAS LATE 70'S TO EARLY 90'S. PERHAPS IF IT WERE UPDATED TO CURRENT 2002 IN THE SAME DEPTH I WOULD RECOMMEND IT AS A FIRST REFERENCE CHOICE. AS IS, I WOULD RECOMMEND IT AS VERY USEFUL FOR THE PERIOD IT DOES COVER.
