We think this is the best and certainly the most comprehensive book ever written about modern piston aircraft engines. Written by by John Schwaner, a world-class expert in piston powerplants and engine failure analysis, the book distills John's thirty years of wisdom about engine performance, inspection, cylinder repairs, lubricants, wear, vibration, fatigue, and troubleshooting into one incredibly valuable volume.
The book explores virtually every aspect of powerplant engineering and operations, using specific case studies of Continental and Lycoming engines. The book's nearly 500 pages are profusely illustrated with hundreds of photographs, diagrams, graphs, and tables.
We consider this book a "must read" for general aviation pilots, aircraft owners, and mechanics. The engine troubleshooting chapter alone can easily repay the cost of this book a hundred times over. The section on proper powerplant management is also invaluable. The book is guaranteed to become a prized addition to your reference library.
