He doesn't go through degreeing in the camshaft and that's what I had trouble with. It would have been nice to have good written instructions and pictures of that.
Dennis, I agree, It's unfortunate that degreeing the cam was overlooked/left out, especially since there are a couple of pictures of the crank sprocket explaining the keyway degrees. Maybe they figured we could find that info elsewhere.
On a side note I noticed that the Hollowheads from Poland are referred to as "The Knuckleheads"?? Haha

Paul, my Bad. I should have wrote Finland… don't know where I got the "Poland". In one part it's referring to the 'Hollowheads' and then in the caption under a picture of their engine it says 'Knuckleheads'.

My books came in today as well. Very well put together. You have to be downright nitpickin' to throw rocks at the thing. There are some informational tidbits left out of course, and there are some typos here and there. Too bad that some of us could not have proofed the book before it went to print. I do wish he would have mentioned/shown what rods he used in the performance build at the end of the book.

We have seen a band here in Finland which is called "Knuclebone Oscar" and it plays mighty good rock'n roll  . And we sure do not Polish our cars too often... Haven't seen the book yet, but must have been a shock to see something done here in Finland . We might have done something new when the second edition of the book launches... hopefully.

My copy of the book arrived yesterday. While I've simply thumbed through the pages so far and haven't done a detailed read, the book looks like it will be a good reference for those that are wanting to work on their own engines. Looks to be a high quality paper and the pictures are good and clear. Didn't see a credit or explanation for the front cover picture though.

Got my book as well, it sure would have been handy when I blew the motor in my 57 wagon. I'm used to chevys, inline six Fords and Mopars so this was pretty new to me. Lots of little quirky things with these motors. But, I do like them.
