Review
This book has been around for over 20 years, yet it still has what you are looking for as it was updated in 1997. It should answer all your questions and shows you what to look for during the blueprinting process. ---Engine Professional, reviewed by Mike Caruso, Oct.-Dec.2008

Best printed material on the subject...
This book provides the necessary information to get you going toward developing or improving your serious engine building skills. What it doesn't and shouldn't have are the figures for your particular combination. For example: If you are building a small block Ford, it doesn't tell you that your pin height should be XYZ with ABC stroke. What it does do is tell you how use the precision tools required to assemble cylinder heads, short block (including degreeing your cam) and all of the computational formulas needed for compression ratio, CID, etc..etc.

The material is presented well and is full of lots of good information without the common bias for a particular brand engine . Even though Small Block Chevy parts are pictorialized throughout the book, the text and information apply to any motor. An example describing how to check pushrod length and rocker arm geometry alone is worth $....

Impressive, fact-filled read of Engine Blueprinting without forcing you to go step-by-step, but giving them to you in logical order.

Take Care.

By Far the Best Book on the Subject
I purchased and read several engine blueprinting books before undertaking my 396 LT1 stroker project. Voeglin's book is not a step by step guide, unless its been revised since I read it, but it does flow in logical order. What it does have is some of the best and most complete advise on what to check and why. This book is not for the plastigauge set: you'll need a set of micrometers and preferably a dial bore guage, etc. It will definately teach you how to use them.

Like most such books, it centers around the small block Chevrolet, but is not specific to them: he provides information in numerous places where Mopars and Fords deviate from the Chevrolet.

If you are interested in advanced engine assembly, read this
This one book has all advanced assembly methods known to all racing shops. Although a few of the methods listed are out dated, if still is one of the best books I have read on Engine Rebuilding. Blueprinting an engine, is an involved process and this book outlines this process in grate detail.
