Four Stroke Performance Tuning

This fully revised and updated edition is one of the most comprehensive references available to engine tuners and race engine builders. Bell covers all areas of engine operation, from air and fuel, through carburation, ignition, cylinders, camshafts and valves, exhaust systems and drive trains, to cooling and lubrication. Filled with new material on electronic fuel injection and computerised engine management systems. Every aspect of an engine's operation is explained and analyzed.

First published in 1981 and regularly reprinted since, this remains one of the most comprehensive works available to the enthusiast engine tuner and race engine builder.Drawing on his practical experience in tuning and modifying high-performance road, rally and race units, it sets out in detail the many prionciples involved in tuning four-stroke engines. A. Graham Bell explains and analyses every aspect of an engine's operation in this illustrated book.

Books about Four-stroke Performance Tuning in Theory and Practice

This classic has been completely updated for the second edition. John Robinson, the Technical Editor of `Performance Bikes', explains how various stages of engine tune are reached, and describes typical development work with enough theory to devise a practical development programme. The phenomena described are all known to work - the trick is making them all work together. Engine development is slow and expensive, but the results can be very rewarding, both in competition and in the sheer pleasure of using a motor which is crisp and perfectly set up. Although it is not possible to make all-round engine improvements, other than those gained by careful assembly to the exact stock tolerances, improvements in one area can be `traded' for losses in another: increases in high-speed power balanced perhaps against losses in low-speed power, engine flexibility and reliability. John Robinson takes the reader through the processes which are necessary to make your four-stroke run perfectly. Will be promoted by PERFORMANCE BIKES
