You will then move into the real engineering decisions behind a successful build: selecting materials, interpreting drawings, planning machining operations, controlling tolerances, and avoiding common construction errors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInside, you will learn about: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine layout, proportions, and design principles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCylinder blocks, heads, liners, and combustion chambers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePistons, connecting rods, crankshafts, and flywheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValve trains, camshafts, timing, and port design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIgnition systems, spark plugs, coils, and timing adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarburetion, fuel delivery, lubrication, and cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLathe and milling operations for precision components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits, clearances, surface finish, balancing, and alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembly procedures, first start-up, running-in, and tuning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFault diagnosis, troubleshooting, maintenance, and safe workshop practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eWritten for model engineers, machinists, students, hobby builders, and technically curious readers, the book connects theory with practical decision-making. It helps you understand not only what to do, but why each step matters.\u003cbr\u003eWhether you are planning your first miniature engine, improving your machining skills, restoring an existing project, or seeking a deeper understanding of mechanical power, this handbook gives you a structured path from concept to running engine.\u003cbr\u003eTurn raw material into precision machinery. Learn the principles, follow the process, and build an engine you can understand, test, tune, and proudly run. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrder your copy today and begin your journey from engine design to the first successful start.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dillon Kerr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798177151816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.35d","brand":"Dillon Kerr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50780260401407,"sku":"9798177151816","price":46.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/model-internal-combustion-engine-design-dillon-kerr-9798177151816","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
