they have some info in them dont get me wrong but heck when i picked them up i knew nothing...i always think a book has a use and a purpose what i would do is go to your library and check them out, or look them up online...there are some online version too...if that does not work then look at the book stores to see if they have them instock but if you do buy any book look on amazon.com or half.com and get a used bc since the quaqlity is still great but the cost is not... good luck man |

"How to Hot Rod VW's" does have a lot of good info, however it is some what old school. Does n't mention anything larger than a 92 mm piston build, (I think). Printed in the early 70's. Many parts were still experimental, many no longer exist as they have been replaced by newer, better parts. I would recomend it but would also recomend a "Bently Manual". Also check with engine builders and your parts suppliers for torque specs. Custom parts don't neccesarily use the same specs. Dave W. |
