prof. Gordon Blair's books

[ericlachance]

I was looking on amazon the other day for Mr. Blair's books and noticed some of them were out of print. I was wondering if it was because there was a new version of his 2 stroke design book. If so, does anyone have the nameor ISBN code for this book. I know mr Blair is pretty much the leading authority on two and four stroke design, but I was also wondering if anyone has any comments on these books. I was also considering purchasing the four stroke design book.

Thanks

Eric

If Amazon doesn't carry them you can order them directly from the publisher at www.sae.org

Both books are well worth the price, and should be considered required reading if you really want to understand engines and performance.
