Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A book for students and lecturers covering all types of automobile engine, 'Advanced Engine Technology' provides a comprehensive reference for anyone studying the way in which modern vehicle engines work, and why they are designed as they are. The author deals with the full range of engines encountered in production vehicles (petrol and diesel), in a clear and simple way.

Includes index.

Valves and camshafts -- Camshaft chain belt and gear train drives -- Engine balance and vibration -- Combustion chamber design and engine performance -- Induction and exhaust systems -- Supercharging systems -- Carburetted fuel systems -- Petrol injection systems -- Ignition systems -- Engine testing equipment -- Diesel In-line fuel injection pump systems -- Diesel rotary and unit injector fuel injection pump systems -- Emission control -- Cooling and lubrication systems -- Alternative power sources.

CHOICE Review

Heisler (transport studies, College of North West London) has as his objective to allow the reader to grasp the manufacturing and design requirements of automotive engine components to aid in the diagnosis and repair of engines. Line drawings, of very good quality, are used throughout to illustrate principles and assembly details. (Photographs were eschewed because they do not adequately explain the appropriate information and, in any case, they can be obtained from any manufacturer's repair manual.) The book covers material needed for a number of British technology courses and certificate programs; the author states that "this text encompasses the engine technology modules for both the BTEC Higher National Certificate/Diploma in Motor Vehicle Engineering and the Institute of the Road Transport Engineers." The organization is not like that of a monograph or a textbook, but more like a handbook or technical manual. The major areas of engine technology covered are valves, camshafts, combustion chambers, exhaust, supercharging, fuel injection, ignition, and pump systems. A useful addition to any automotive engineering collection. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates; faculty; professionals; two-year technical program students. A. M.
