Engine Technology
£30.00
This work provides the sort of information that fills many gaps in understanding engine technology. It is not intended for anyone seeking a ‘for this problem, do that’ guide full of instant cures (an unattainable dream if truth be told), but is aimed at those looking for the knowledge to take them a step up from the glossy go-faster magazines and enthusiasts’ forums, or those wanting to develop the understanding and confidence to be able to work things out for themselves, and also those who are looking for a solid foundation before taking up serious study of engine technology.
Written and compiled by Roger Bywater, former Jaguar engineer and founder of AJ6 Engineering, this invaluable reference text is full of explanations about how engine technology has evolved to deliver amazing levels of performance and economy, whilst reducing harmful exhaust emissions almost to zero. Subjects like induction and exhaust tuning, cam design, combustion, and emission control, are described and analysed in plain English (over 120,000 words supported by 274 illustrations) without getting bogged down with cumbersome mathematics and jargon
Please note that this is a downloadable e-dossier, comprising 11 chapters in pdf format archived in one downloadable file. It is not a physical book.
