Engines are built to fall within a wide set of standards and specifications, often not optimized to meet the original design. In short, cheap and fast engine production results in a sloppy final product. Of course, this is not idea for high-performance engines. To maximize the performance of any engine, it must be balanced and blueprinted to the exact tolerances that the factory should have adhered to in the first place. Four cylinder, V-8, American or import, the performance of all engines is greatly improved by balancing and blueprinting. Dedicated enthusiasts and professional racers balance and blueprint their engines because the engines will produce more horsepower and torque, more efficiently use fuel, run cooler and last longer. In this book, expert engine builder and veteran author Mike Mavrigian explains and illustrates the most discriminating engine building techniques, so the engine is perfectly balanced, matched, and optimized. Balancing and blueprinting is a time consuming and exacting process, but the investment in time pays off with superior performance. Through the process, you carefully measure, adjust, machine and fit each part together with precision tolerances, optimizing the design and maximizing performance. The book covers the block, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, cylinder heads, intake manifolds, camshaft, measuring tools and final assembly techniques. For more than 50 years, balancing and blueprinting has been an accepted and common practice for maximizing performance. An enthusiast or professional that invests the time to precisely build an engine in this fashion will be rewarded with an engine that will run strong and last for years. This book provides an unprecedented level of detail and instruction on the process of balancing and blueprinting your engine.

Techncal
Very technical, but also very good book. If you have a decent amount of engine mechanics, this will help you to understand much more. It won't qualify you as a machinist, but help you to understand and plan where to spend the money on your engine build. Also help you to communicate intelligently with a machine shop.

Not what i was expecting
Was expecting a well explained step by step guide on how to blueprint an engine for some who wants to learn engine building, instead the book mostly shows how to use tools that are quite expensive for some one thats not an engine shop, topics are mostly general descriptions on different subjects but not actualy going into detail on how to do things practicly, if you have no knowlegde on the subject then this book might confuse you as its not a step by step blueprint guide then you might as well look elsewhere.

Of great interest to all levels of Engineers
I had employed lots of these basic techniques over the years and tried to understand the value they would add to my engine/gearbox. I personally found the book great for daydreaming, lack of machine shop and money.and to understand where I should spend my pension to best effect. I keep reading it in odd moments and planning the next motor. Do give it a try.
