Customer Reviews

No nonsense
My husband got this book and said anyone that can read, they can rebuild a motor with this book.

I ate it up!
I waited eagerly for this book and was not disappointed. I "digested" it completely in 3 days of on and off reading. The format of the book is excellent - 3/4 pictures, 1/4 supporting text. Now I am ready to assemble and startup my own engine without fear of it blowing up during the first few minutes of "life". Highly recommended for those of us "inclined" to work with mechanical objects but scared of doing more harm than good due to a lack of experience.

Great info
This book details the engine removal, rebuild, and rebuild process. Great info and insight regarding a B series build. If you want to build a B series engine and you are not a Honda certified tech, this book is essential!
