Customer Reviews

An inspirering read for all would be engine tuners
From cylinder head gas flowing to sump baffles, 4-stroke performance tuning explains everthing you'll need to know about the in's and out's of your engine. I read this book cover to cover and could'nt keep away from it. This book is of value to pro's and novices alike and will reward you time and time agian, with it's simple explanations to what is often looked on as a black magic to a novice engine builder.

Tuning bible?
This is a brilliant book. It is concise, gives very good information, and although gets a little complicated sometimes its written in a very natural clear way.

Every tuning book I have bought since barely adds to what this book has taught me.

If you haven't got it and want to know more about how 4 stroke engines work, buy it.

I would go as far to say if it were on the National Curriculum, kids would be a lot smarter than they are now...

Awesome!
If you don't own this, buy it now! I was looking for some more in-depth info on tuning & this book supplied it. The only slight negative to it is that it's fairly hard work to read, but that's only because there's so much information contained - definitely not a cover-to-cover in one afternoon job (like most other tuning books)
Should be standard issue for any self respecting petrol head, can't recommend it highly enough.
