Another great book from this author. September 1, 2007
Chris Sellick (South Australia,Australia)
Author David Vizard is known for other Chev engine building books and this one is just as good.
This book caters for the chevy cylinder heads but the tips and techniques can be used on cylinder heads not just Chev.This book has a lot to offer any engine builder.It does get a bit too technical but most people will understand it.
Highly recommended.

This is THE BEST book on cylinder head porting for street and stripe use. David Vizard clearly explains the reasoning behind his recommendations, and has flowbench and dyno data to back it up. The information in this book can be applied to ANY cylinder head, whether looking for that last bit of performance from aftermarket heads or improving OEM cylinder heads.

As with many of David Vizards books this one exceeded my expectations. It opened new avenues of thought regarding head modifications and then proceeded to explore those avenues thoroughly. Mr. Vizard is one of the few that shares his knowledge in a manner that very few do. To many "experts" under estimate our ability to learn and understand, or else they don't want to go through the bother. Mr. Vizard does so in a very convincing manner. Thanks for all the horsepower, torque, and reliability, David. This book covered porting, hardware, modification in your own shop, and can be utilized to any level you wish. I keep returning to it to advance in my own practice.
 Slightly outdated but exceptional information September 21, 1999

The book is very well written and understandable. The illustrations and photographs are top notch. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking knowledge about cylinder heads and the modification there of. Many of the techniques illustrated in this book can be applied to other types of cylinder heads with favorable results. I would like to see an update to this book that would include porting information on some of the many new cylinder heads and manufacturers that have hit the market since this book was published.
A must have item, very thorough and very interesting reading May 27, 1999

I have been searching for a book like this for years! It contains everything you need to know to be able to successfully port your own cyclinder heads. David Vizard has done an excellent job of explaining, in a language that most people should be able to understand, the principles of cyclinder head design and how they function. I HIGHLY recommend this book, and all other books David has written (I own all of his books, and not one has disappointed me).Ernst denBroeder
