Auto Engine Repair covers the design, construction, operation, diagnosis, service, and repair of gasoline engines. This comprehensive text prepares students to use factory service information and specifications to complete competent service and repair work on the gasoline engines found in today's cars and light trucks. It is a valuable resource to those preparing for ASE Certification Tests A1, Engine Repair, and A8, Engine Performance. Featuring an exciting new design with many new images, this 8th edition has been thoroughly revised by the authors and carefully vetted by a panel of experts in the field of automotive education to ensure the material is technically accurate, up-to-date, and presented in the most logical and effective manner. A new Shop Talk feature located at the beginning of each chapter explains why the material covered in the chapter is relevant to the study of engine repair.

An overview of many engine machining processes provides students with a basic understanding of these important tasks. Thorough coverage of the latest innovations in engine design prepares students for the types of engines they will encounter in the field. End-of-chapter questions have been enhanced to include Know and Understand, Apply and Analyze, and Critical Thinking questions, as well as ASE-Type questions. * Technical information is presented in an easy-to-understand manner, with abundant illustrations that reinforce clear, concise written explanations. * The text correlates to all three levels of the new ASE Education Foundation Engine Repair Task List (MLR, AST, and MAST).
