Editorial Reviews

"An excellent practical guide to what is often regarded as something of a 'black art' in the field of engine building ... All the practical aspects of cylinder head modification ... are covered in full in an easy, readable yet eminently practical style with numerous illustrations and diagrams." - Speedscene
