This extensively illustrated book traces the evolution of the car engine from the crude efforts of the late 19th Century pioneers through to the cutting-edge technology of today. From 'wick' carburettors to common-rail diesel injection, from 'atmospheric' valves to variable valve timing, the clearly written text explores each decade, describing the significant milestones and illustrating them with examples of appropriate ground-breaking 'classic' engines. This book will appeal to enthusiasts keen to learn more about how and why engines have evolved into today's highly sophisticated units.
