port and flow test, David Vizard Review by Thom

Well, Mr Vizard, once again you make me feel totally incompatent. The ideas brought forth are exciting, but I feel like I am not getting the whole picture in any of it. How do you radius above and below the valve seat? Isn't the valve seat flush with the surrounding port and combustion chamber? In discussing the port volume, is this a static measurment or is this part of the information that comes from the flow bench? Many questions, which should come from a book that teaches to an interested reader. Really, the book made me wish I could spend a lot of time with Vizard the wizard and watch him work his magic and ask a million questions while he does what he does. I must spend more time delving into the details, not just skimming the text, ala Mortimer adler in his book "How to Read a Book". Worthwhile reading for any one wondering how horse power comes about, and can I do this? (Posted on 9/28/12)

This book can start you welding Review by Thom

this is a very informative book. the text is thorough and informative, yet very understandable and easy to follow. not only are principles and the science of welding discussed, but projects are included. the projects are the best way to put into practice what the text teaches. in welding, as in any manual art, practice is the only way to truely learn the lessons given in the text. that makes this an invaluable book for anyone wishing to learn welding. Invaluable ! (Posted on 9/26/12)
