David Hardcastle, Tuning Rover V8 Engines: How to Get Best Performance for Road and Competition Use Review

Overall Rating

Good history and general information.
Some interesting photographs.

Was limited to general information, no apparent hands-on research conducted by the author, no comparative tables or data comparing specifications, settings, outputs or products and no real information on tuning.
Assumes its readers are poorly equipped and trained.

When a book you purchase specifically to allow you to tune the Rover V8 advises that "cylinder head porting is a very skillful job which is best left to experts" and then recommends some such experts, you have to wonder why the book was written.
This is backed up by "to give full information would fill a book" - certainly not this one!
If you are happy paying the price for an engine overview, feel free, but don't expect any engineering data or David Vizard style information or to be able to use it to actually tune an engine to give more power.
