Research / Study / Investigation / Learning
Links validity checked 23rd Nov 2012.
Before I began my car restoration project / engine transplant. I made significant searches on the internet about AE86, KE70, Toyota, 4A-GE and many other various essentials / extra components as I learn.
Thanks also to Mr. LOW Jwo Shong for loaning me: -
· AUTOMOTIVE Engines
· by Crouse & Anglin
· (8th Edition)
· published by (GLENCOE) McGRAW-HILL International Editions
· under Automotive Technology Series
· ISBN 0-07-113884-6
· priced at Ringgit Malaysia (RM) 70 when he purchased it.
Extremely value for $$$ and loads of fundamental information, which will not lead you to wrong understanding in future readings of automotive technology. MUST READ. It covers all the fundamentals and gave me very solid foundations about engines.
Presented below are links to other websites that I have read allot from and recommends them to you.
The 1st 3 websites are most fundamental and covers most of the topic I needed. For these I read more than 10 times over many months repeatedly, because I did not understand the car mechanical vocabulary that were used.
Other websites were also read more than 3 times without fail.
Regardless, you may now reference them all in this page without slowly digging them out from the internet searches. I used www.google.com allot.
However www.altavista.com has been more favorable to me. Search under "Toyota KE70" appears as well as "Engine Tilting" ehhehe, very happy.
Thanks to all these people for their contribution to the world.
No. 1 Bill Sherwood (wow speechless)
No.2 Phil Bradshaw (smallest MB website but most info)
No.3 Club 4AG (ahhhhhhhh the famous Club 4AG :) )
