Modern Engine Blueprinting Techniques
$54.55
An enthusiast or professional that invests the time to precisely build an engine will be rewarded with an engine that will run strong and last for years. This book provides an unprecedented level of detail and instruction on the process of balancing and blueprinting your engine.
Most factory engines are not precisely manufactured and vital clearances and tolerances can be significantly off. In fact, engines are built to fall within a wide set of standards and specifications and often aren't optimized. Of course, this is not what enthusiasts want out of their engines. Dedicated enthusiasts and professional racers balance and blueprint their engines because the engines will produce more horsepower and torque, more efficiently use fuel, run cooler and last longer.
Through the blueprinting process, you carefully measure, adjust, machine and fit each part together with precision tolerances, optimizing the design and maximising performance.
An enthusiast or professional that invests the time to precisely build an engine in this fashion will be rewarded with an engine that will run strong and last for years. This book provides an unprecedented level of detail and instruction on the process of balancing and blueprinting your engine.
