Practical Manual Cylinder Heads Engineering/Tuning/Modifications Heel
Practical manual for cylinder heads for classic cars / classic cars / collector's vehicles
Technology, tuning, modifications
Peter Burgess & David Gollan - Edition Oldtimer Markt - Heel Verlag
When it comes to increasing the performance of four-stroke engines, the first thing to look at is the or the cylinder heads. Here the mixture supplied by the carburettor or injection is converted into pure horsepower. Understanding the functional relationships of the individual components of the cylinder head is the key to high performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness of every four-stroke engine, both in road use and for use in motorsport.
This latest volume in the practical manual series describes in great detail and with the help of numerous pictures and illustrations the theoretical basics of cylinder head technology and then explains possible steps to increase performance. All assemblies are considered separately - from the inlet or the mixture formation, through ignition to the exhaust or the exhaust system. Written in an easy-to-understand manner and carefully compiled, this book offers technically interested readers everything they need to know in order to be able to carry out work on the cylinder head successfully.
