5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic educational tool, August 1, 2007

By	Dale Constantin "DC the DC" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is great at giving general knowledge that you can use on any diesel engine. I have done quite a bit of tinkering with gasoline engines and needed to learn specifics about diesels so that I could work on my own tractor and bull dozer. I'd already bought the manual on the dozer. It had lots of specific information about my dozer but overall was very difficult to understand. I couldn't even orient myself to the drawings.

When I got done with this book I felt like I could look at any diesel engine, large or small, and understand almost everything about it. It is very well written with great pictures and drawings.

This is one of the best book investments I have ever made.
