Intended for technicians and machinists, it blends principles and step-by-step rebuilding procedures. The concepts are supported by specification charts, photo sequences, and numerous drawings.

Some of the key features include:

• Many photos of worn and failed parts are shown to aid the technician in problem diagnosis. In fact, some of the photographs have actually been used successfully in court to show examples of failed parts caused by owner abuse.
• On-the-job applications and step-by-step procedures are both illustrated and discussed. Coverage of the new multi-valve, overhead cam, lightweight casting engines found on many of today's cars and light trucks.
