Vizard does it again

Reviewed in Canada on July 25, 2000

As with many of David Vizards books this one exceeded my expectations. It opened new avenues of thought regarding head modifications and then proceeded to explore those avenues thoroughly. Mr. Vizard is one of the few that shares his knowledge in a manner that very few do. To many "experts" under estimate our ability to learn and understand, or else they don't want to go through the bother. Mr. Vizard does so in a very convincing manner. Thanks for all the horsepower, torque, and reliability, David. This book covered porting, hardware, modification in your own shop, and can be utilized to any level you wish. I keep returning to it to advance in my own practice.

Slightly outdated but exceptional information

Reviewed in Canada on September 21, 1999

The book is very well written and understandable. The illustrations and photographs are top notch. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking knowledge about cylinder heads and the modification there of. Many of the techniques illustrated in this book can be applied to other types of cylinder heads with favorable results. I would like to see an update to this book that would include porting information on some of the many new cylinder heads and manufacturers that have hit the market since this book was published.

David Vizard does it well again. Now days you have to have a machine shop to do all head work. The days of doing this in your own garage is for the birds if you want it done right. It has a lot of fine points, pictures, ideas but if you need machining done send it out. The good machine shop will have all the tools. I liked it, good reference material and you can't beat a book by David Vizard.

I have purchased several books by Mr. Vizard. I am thankful that he shares his vast knowledge and experience with us. I will continue to purchase his books and look for his articles in the performance automotive magazines. The only criticism I have is that he could benefit from a good proof reader. This is especially true of captions under pictures and graphs. None the less, the value of the information is great enough that I still rate the book 5 stars. When something doesn't make sense just ask yourself if it could be explained by poor editing.

This is a great book. I have all of David Vizards "head porting" books and this one is by far the easiest to understand . After reading, I will have to re-read the other books.
