 engine blueprinting September 5, 2009
Thomas Bieber (Watsontown, Pa)
My husband saw this ad in one of his car books. We ordered it on line. It was a good buy for what he does with motors.
 excellent book will walk you thru all the procedures to get it done December 17, 2008

Just right for the beginner June 14, 2006

This is an excellent resource for the 1st time engine builder and clearly differentiates blue printing from rebuilding. Don't expect to read this book and understand everything needed to properly rebuild an engine. However, combine this book with "How To Rebuild Your Small Block Chevy" by David Vizard.
 A good overview, but more meat please! July 13, 2005

This book gives a good overview on common tools and practices in blueprinting an engine but lacks fine detail. Certain machine practices the author just mentions and then states to have your machinist do this. Hello? I bought this book to do the stuff myself and save $$.
I was hoping for a reference that would demonstrate how to cut valve seats and press in inserts and what tools are needed or maybe blueing and port matching your heads and intake (not just gasket matching).
There was some good info offset grinding and welding but again I want more detail on the submerged arcwelder recommended and which electrode. Am I expecting too much?
Hey, if anyone out there knows of a book that is along these lines let me know. I just don't want to spend $600 on the Sunnen manual but I really want to know the in and outs of everything on blueprinting and rebuilding an engine. Specific machining practices and setups, all specialty tools needed, etc.
This book has to be on your workbench!! January 1, 2004

We just bought the updated version of this book to go with our almost worn-out original copy. Hands down, the best book on learning the correct procedures for blueprinting an engine, not just rebuilding it. Anyone who desires to understand the how's and why's of setting up their engine correctly will want to have this book on their workbench. The material is easy to read, pictures are descriptive, and the author makes the understanding of complicated procedures easy to understand.
Even if you cannot perform the machine work, at least you will understand what you need to ask for, the reasons why, and understand if it was done correctly.
In our opinion, a 5-Star rating does not do this book justice. 10-Star would be more like it and it's our hope that Rick Voegelin will consider writing additional technical guides in the near future.
