This review is from: Engine Cooling Systems HP1425: Cooling System Theory, Design and Performance For Drag Racing, Road Racing,Circle Track, Street Rods, Musclecars, Imports, OEM Cars, Trucks, RVs and T (Paperback)
If you're looking for a general understanding of a cars cooling system, this is the book for you. If you are looking for any cutting edge information, or actually want to do any design work, this book is not for you. It is light in its technical information, and doesn't really give enough information to actually undertake a design project (you can always resort to trial and error, but you can do that without buying a book), and at best it merely points you in the right direction. Worst still, it seems to have been pretty much been sponsored by Evans Cooling, and spends more time extolling the virtues of their products than it does educating the reader. There aren't that many books about cooling systems out there, but this is by no means a bible. At best its a good introduction, a casual light read, at worst its academically dishonest, packaging an advertisement as technical material.

I Have rated this book with 5 stars. After reading it and highlighting Many sections of it, I am pleased to say I consider it a "must read". Anyone building any type of auto. project, be it a street rod, sports car, or race car, even a daily driver can learn some useful tips from this book. It is not to burdensome with the math, but explains the complete cooling system and each of its components in depth. This coming from a second generation race/sportscar builder.

This is an excellent book. When I first saw it I couldn't imagine you could write an entire book just about engine cooling. But the author has really made it very interesting and I learned a lot of things I didn't know before. I recommend this book to anyone interested in how their car's engine cooling system really works.
