4.0 out of 5 stars Serious about building a perfect Zcar race motor? Get It!, October 19, 1998
By A Customer
Covers parts of performance engine rebuilding not covered in basic rebuilding books. I would not recommend for a absolute beginner, but I found it to be interesting reading even though I rarely rebuild. If you are just learing get How To Rebuild Your Nissan OHC also (Book Number 1555611591). This is a must have book for anyone interested in Nissan/Datsun Z series cars but also covers other Nissan OHC engines.

5.0 out of 5 stars Modifying your Datsun OHC engine -- an excellent guide!, August 6, 2000
By 
My friend has this book, and I've looked it over a few times. It is an excellent guide, a must for the performance engine builder! It shows everything from heads, how to weld them, straighten them, even port and polish them, to bottom end work such as balancing, which rods to use, what pistons you should use for a particular application, even shows how to use a welder and a milling machine to match the top of the piston to the combustion chamber for high compression! If you want to performance-build your Datsun/Nissan engine, this is the book for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for your street aplications., October 10, 2000
By A Customer
This book is great for the serious do-it-yourselfer. If you know how rebuild your engine, you'll have no problems. It gives recommendations from the experts and simplifies it for you, and eliminates the hassle and expense of experimenting. Get it, it's an excellent reference if you're already in the business.
