Racing Engine Builder's HandbookHP

By Scott D. Willis - February 26, 2009

I consider myself a pretty attentive engine builder. This book was an excellent compliment to the extensive experience I have already. It contained many well thought out subjects with the relative details that will aid me for many more builds to come. And it should do so for anyone who choses to read it.

Worth the money

By Attavit Ansvananda "Piglet" - January 9, 2007

I bought this book after I bought Engine Builder Handbook from the same author. The book contains a lot of good information which can be applied to many engine not only American V8. However, it would be better to include the techniques for the Japanese and European twin-cams engines.

If you're gong to race ...

By Dillon M. Pyron - February 25, 2011

... you probably need this book. Unless you're a pro builder, there is plenty of information in here for you. Yeah, you may know how to stuff the pistons in the cylinders, but do you know how to calculate airflow? Or fuel flow? You know how to degree a cam, but do you know what factors influence you selection?

This book is a great follow on to Mr. Monroe's "Engine Builder's" book. He throws a lot of examples of the math required, with a detailed explanation. He has little performance tips, as well as things like when and how to deck mill, equalizing combustion chamber sizes and how to mill the heads.

If you're building an OHC engine, this will still be useful (I'm not), but there are a number of areas you can skip, and some others that it needs. But CFM is CFM and ring gaps haven't changed. He does list many things in both SAE and metric.

This book won't be a "bench book", but I'll bet some pages get greasy.
