Good general information While this book didn't give specific plans to build an engine it still had some good info in it. The section on tooling and jigs have me some good ideas, as well as some of the figures given in relation to bore and stroke. If you're looking for a book to tell you how to build an engine this isn't it, but if you have a good understanding of IC engines you will get something out of this book.. "I enjoy read Turne" according to Roberto A. Fajardo. Turner present a excellent design rules with proportions and scale drawing of the miniature engine. Also he gives the method of construction easy to follow.
