"This book is a must for everyone involved in engine installations. Whether you are installing an overhauled engine on a production airframe or design and maintain your own engine installation for a homebuilt airplane, this book covers every component and system firewall forward. Most kits or planes built airplanes do not include very detailed instructions of how to handle the engine installation. This book is intended to fill the gap. Learn about engine mounts, firewall layout, fuel systems, engine cooling optimization for aircooled and liquid cooled engines, cooling drag reduction, cowling design, engine controls, exhaust and induction systems, engine instrumentation, different ignition systems, advantages and disadvantages, propeller selection, oil systems and cabin heat, up to the first engine run. Make sure your engine works well and runs safely from the first start. Everything is well explained and easy to understand, whether you are an A&P or have never touched an engine before.

This is not a "fancy" book, but the information given based on the experiences of an experienced aircraft builder and Professional Engineer can not be beat, and will be very much appreciated by novice and experienced restorers and builders of today's highly evolved kitplanes.
