Yes, the Smith/Morrison one. Pretty old now but worthy. Most books have a little something that sinks in and plants a seed, just don't stake your life on anything without checking for confirmation elsewhere and even then there's always a chance it'll be disproved.

That would be this one for me, the first ever text book that I owned on a permanent borrow basis from the school libray laugh

Totally, totally basic, V8 galore. I wouldn't recomend it at all unless you don't know the basic 'why a piston ring needs a gap' .

Book

Having done some more Googling, it looks like the Baines book is a must-have, however hard work it is - so on my Christmas present wish list.....

smile it is though be sure to understand it's aimed at production level cars rather than race engines.
