Machining is an essential part of high-performance engine building and stock rebuilding, as well as certain servicing procedures. Although you may not own the expensive tooling and machining to perform all or any of the machining required for a quality build, you need to understand the principles, procedures, and goals for machining, so you can guide the machining process when outsourced. Classic and older engines typically require extensive machining and almost every major component of engine, including block, heads, intake, and crankshaft, require some sort of machining and fitment. A detailed, authoritative, and thorough automotive engine- machining guide for the hard-core enthusiast has not been available until now. Mike Mavrigian, editor of Engine Building Professional, walks you through each important machining procedure. Mavrigian reveals the different machining procedures and plans according to application and engine design. He also shows you how to inspect, measure, and evaluate components so you can provide astute guidance and make the best machine work choices. Machining procedures included are cylinder boring, align boring/honing, decking, valveseat cutting, cam tunnel boring, and a multitude of other services. In addition, multi-angle valve jobs, setting the valveseats, altering rocker arm ratio, re-conditioning connecting rods, and machining and matching valvetrain components are also covered. Whether you’re an enthusiast engine builder or prospective machining student who wants to pursue a career as an automotive machinist, this book will provide insight and in-depth instruction for performing the most common and important machining procedures. • It is an in-depth and explanatory guide automotive machining for the dedicated enthusiast and aspiring machining student • Shows you how to plan, evaluate, and execute machine building • Explains and illustrates the most common machining procedures About the Author Mike Mavrigian, a certified member of the National Institute of Automotive Service Excellence, has authored Modern Engine Blueprinting Techniques; Performance Exhaust Systems: How to Design, Fabricate and Install; and many other titles.
