4Stroke Performance Tuning
ISBN 1859604358, Haynes 1981, and second edition 1998

No motorcycles here, all examples and discussion is around Ford Chrysler and Chevrolet multicyclinder watercooled motors. As a car type 4T introduction it is rather good, but I found it very difficult to relate what was being said to air-cooled motorcycle engines, and so it did not really 'gell' for me. I prefer the excellent standard work by David Vizard on tuning the British Leyland A series engine.
