Not about A-SERIES, but is just about one of the best engine building books going. It's actually about the engineering and assembly processes which should be followed, rather than about bolt on goodies. This is a must for anyone doing engine work.

I have the same book, though been a while since I picked it up, but from what I do recall of it, it wasn't too bad. A few suggested operations, though, I did disagree with.

Thank you Jim Rockford for asking this question, just what I have been looking for as I have a 1098 engine that I want to build based on Keith Calver's article.

 

and thank you ACDodd for the pointer to the engine rebuild book, I've go the 1380 dvd which is very good and the yellow bible, is very interesting.

 

(all the gear and no idea but hopefully TMF will help)

 

cheers

Hi AC that sounds great, where about's in the country are you?

 

Just been reading "Ac Dodd Fast Road Engine Build" topic.

Can I ask what's engine club? is it like fight club? "The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club."

 

I like the idea of doing something different and as I've got a 1098 lying around....  

 

cheers Darren
