A Pontiac Service Manual?
(for year of your engine)

It has just about every spec you need for the car and engine.

Rocky Rotella's book is good for a How To book also:

How To Rebuild Pontiac Engines

Paul Carter was working on a new book but I have not heard if he had finished it yet.

http://www.pontiaczone.com/forum/sho...130#post396130


The book I'm writing about engine building

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I'm getting close on my book. I feel I have covered engine building from picking a good core to prep work to understanding how the machining processes are completed, and assembly. I still need to edit and insert pictures and finish the last chapter of final assembly.

My question to the board is this:
Is there something specific anyone would like to see explained in detail in an engine building book?

I think I have covered it pretty well but you know how it is, when you do something over and over everyday, it becomes second nature and sometimes we find ourselves thinking that certain things are common knowledge and I may forget to mention it. I feel I have included far more stuff than what you will find in your average "How to build and engine" book.

Please feel free to ask for anything engine related as I'm writing this book for other peoples benefit, not my own, so I feel it only right to ask input for what you would like to see or learn about.

Thank you for any input!

sounds cool sounds like what Im looking for I would like it to tell what I need to do to keep my motor together for the way I like to drive it. diff levels would be nice to see and combos of strokes too. I have had my 400 done 3x and its knocking again less than 5000 miles I have done motors in the past myself with better luck than the shops I have done them with. I think alot of things have changed since some of those old books were written great for their time lots of new parts out there and diff fuel too
