4.0 out of 5 stars Good All-Around book for tuning your MGB, January 11, 2000

By	Gabe Donica (Mount Shasta, California) - See all my reviews

How to Power-Tune MGB 4-cylinder engines is a good all-around book, although some of the language can be confusing. A good point about this book is that it does not only focus on the engine, but on exhaust, intake, tires, carburation, etc. It tells you exact brands that are good, and that is also nice. However, as this book is produced in England, many parts from companies are not available. I highly reccommend this book to anyone owning an MGB.

3.0 out of 5 stars Power tuning, August 26, 2008

By	Mark C. Hallworth (Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: How to Power Tune MGB 4-Cylinder Engines (Speedpro) (Paperback)

Useful information but the quality of the book needs to be improved, some of the tables and charts are faded, as though the years have not been kind and there has been many.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for the MGB owner, January 31, 2007

This is a valuable asset to the library of MGB owners interested in what can go into an engine rebuild. Specific information for increased streetability as well as racing that can benefit all levels of drivers.
