Updated to reflect current trends and industry concerns, the fourth edition of Automotive Engines aids readers as they develop the technical expertise and critical thinking skills needed to effectively diagnose and troubleshoot worn and failed parts.  

Health and safety are emphasized throughout, with new information include on Material Safety Data Sheets, hazardous materials, personal protective equipment, and Cleaning Solvents.

In addition to hundreds of new photographs, interesting case histories, and an entire chapter devoted exclusively to diagnosing engine problems, this edition features expanded coverage of: compression and block check tests, thin wall guide liners and insert guides, cylinder bore wear limits, rings, synthetic oils, belts, and gasket and seal technologies.

High performance aspects of engine rebuilding are also introduced in an expanded chapter on CAMs, manifolds, turbochargers, and supercharges. 

Finally, each chapter contains carefully selected review questions to underscore key points and aid readers in gauging their understanding of essential information as they progress through the book.

Key Features

  • An easy-to-understand approach offers an extraordinarily complete, practical introduction to engine repair and rebuilding without bogging the user down in non-essential details

  • Three of the largest chapters have been divided into smaller and more manageable units, enabling, instructors to use the book more effectively in education and training settings

  • Repair techniques universal to all engines are discussed thoroughly, preparing readers for work in independent repair shops, parts and machine shops, and dealerships

  • Specific tools are introduced and described within appropriate chapters, eliminating the potential for introducing a tool before the reasons for its use are explained

  • Most of the illustrations in the book are new or updated, sustaining interest and enhancing comprehension by connecting information in the  book to what readers will find in the shop.

  • ASE-style questions at the end of the chapters and an appendix containing ASE-style practice tests with explanations of correct answers enable readers to use the book more effectively to prepare for the ASE Certification Exam
