3 out of 5 stars Not great   July 4, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I took a course with this book as the compulsory text. This book has all the the basic information, but has many mistakes that caused me to mistrust information that I could not corroborate from other sources. The book is badly lacking in illustrations, and the ones displayed are not always clear and / or consistent with the topics discussed.

This book has a good format and is based on the new technology that is on the diesel engines of today. I am a Technical College Diesel Instructor and i think this is the best book that is in print at this time. It covers all the engine families including the big three.
