Theory includes how to determine the effects of compression ratio, connecting-rod length, piston velocity, and cylinder-head airflow on power, fuel efficiency, and durability. How to choose, recondition, inspect, stress relieve, machine, fit, and assemble all systems and components are covered in detail supplemented with hundreds of photos, charts, and drawings. Included are high-performance coatings to reduce wear, stress relieving to increase durability, special materials to increase strength, and modifications to the lubrication system to maximize power and durability. Inspection, machining, and assembly processes are shown using the latest tips and techniques: valve guide and seat installation and machining; crankshaft balancing, cylinder-block sleeving, boring, and honing; oiling-system modifications, camshaft degreeing, and more. The preassembly chapter shows how to check that all components are fitted and adjusted correctly to ensure they perform after final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e \t\u003ch3\u003eRacing engine theory\u003c\/h3\u003e \t\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e \t\u003ch3\u003eBlueprinting techniques\u003c\/h3\u003e \t\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e \t\u003ch3\u003eAssembly Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e \t\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e \t\u003ch3\u003eMachining Procedures\u003c\/h3\u003e \t\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e \t\u003ch3\u003ePrep for every component\u003c\/h3\u003e \t\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eOther Details\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003ePublisher Code:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e9781557884923\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eISBN 10:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eISBN 13:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e9781557884923\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003ePublished:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e2006\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e215x275mm\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003ePages:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e202\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eIllustrations:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eSoft Bound, b\/w ill\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e9781557884923\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HPBooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47627991908572,"sku":"9781557884923","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/8297\/3404\/files\/apiecag3o__46034.1642581485.1280.1280.jpg?v=1772089347","url":"https:\/\/automotobookshop.com.au\/products\/the-racing-engine-builders-handbook","provider":"Automoto Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
