An A4 sized book full of explanations about how engine technology has evolved, especially in recent years, to deliver amazing levels of performance and economy, whilst reducing harmful exhaust emissions almost to zero. Subjects like induction and exhaust tuning, cam design, combustion, and emission control, are described and analysed in plain English (over 120,000 words supported by 274 illustrations) without getting bogged down with cumbersome mathematics and jargon.
