5 out of 5 stars This is a great book!!!   August 14, 2008
Brian J. Hanson
I try to read as many books on engines as I can. I own GotEngines.com and I always have a strong interest in learning more about each and every engine, especially diesel engines.

Unfortunately I carry very few marine engines, but as an engine expert I'd recommend this book to anyone!



5 out of 5 stars Another keeper from Calder   June 12, 2008
Richard Frehs
This is another fine reference book from Nigel Calder! I think that this book along with a good factory type manual would be all you needed to maintain your diesel engine. I have yet to purchase a book that Calder has authored that was not worth the money.


5 out of 5 stars Clear and complete   November 24, 2007
Francois Davin (Australia)
Very helpful guide to understanding a diesel engine and all that relates to it. I will maintain my engine much better now!
It should be read before installing a new engine.



5 out of 5 stars My use of Nigel's book   July 16, 2007
Will D. Sinclair (Ks & Napa, Calif)
I am using, to great benefit, this book to rehabilitat the Mazda diesel engine in my 1983 Ford Ranger pick up. Also, since I share a sail boat in Vallejo, Calif with a brother, that has a diesel, my self confidence level is increased.

The book gives you the tech you need, in terms you can understand. Calder is very impressive in his ability to impart knowledge to the layman. Don't however, assume this is just fluff overview, because it truly is the down and dirty of how it works and how to maintain it.
