5.0 out of 5 stars
This book has to be on your workbench!!,
By Charles Rutherford (Glen Allen, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Engine Blueprinting (Paperback)
We just bought the updated version of this book to go with our almost worn-out original copy. Hands down, the best book on learning the correct procedures for blueprinting an engine, not just rebuilding it. Anyone who desires to understand the how's and why's of setting up their engine correctly will want to have this book on their workbench. The material is easy to read, pictures are descriptive, and the author makes the understanding of complicated procedures easy to understand.Even if you cannot perform the machine work, at least you will understand what you need to ask for, the reasons why, and understand if it was done correctly. In our opinion, a 5-Star rating does not do this book justice. 10-Star would be more like it and it's our hope that Rick Voegelin will consider writing additional technical guides in the near future.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Good principles,
By Robert McGregor (Ocho-Rios, St. Ann Jamaica) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Engine Blueprinting (Paperback)
This book has some very good principles on engine blueprinting (as the name suggests), but tends to be more Chevy/American engine oriented.With import performance these days (European and Japanese straight fours and staight sixes, twin cams, v-tec, and four/five valve heads), an updated version with broader scope is needed. Adequate photographs make the text easy to understand, and the witing is straightforward. If you are not a professional engine builder, at least you will know what to ask for next time you visit the machine shop.

Best printed material on the subject...,

This review is from: Engine Blueprinting (Paperback)
This book provides the necessary information to get you going toward developing or improving your serious engine building skills. What it doesn't and shouldn't have are the figures for your particular combination. For example: If you are building a small block Ford, it doesn't tell you that your pin height should be XYZ with ABC stroke. What it does do is tell you how use the precision tools required to assemble cylinder heads, short block (including degreeing your cam) and all of the computational formulas needed for compression ratio, CID, etc..etc.The material is presented well and is full of lots of good information without the common bias for a particular brand engine . Even though Small Block Chevy parts are pictorialized throughout the book, the text and information apply to any motor. An example describing how to check pushrod length and rocker arm geometry alone is worth $.... Impressive, fact-filled read of Engine Blueprinting without forcing you to go step-by-step, but giving them to you in logical order. Take Care. Rob!
