I'm interested in learning a bit more about the good ol' IC engine and wondered if anyone had some good books they could recommend. I want something that goes into good details with plenty of maths (degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics means that equations don't frighten me) and fairly up to date. I'm in the UK...
It's a sad reflection on University courses that they don't teach you any basic engineering stuff as is discussed on this group - nothing about machining (OK, we had a half day machining course where we made a very useful soldering iron stand...) or tolerancing, tooling etc. Just maths, maths and more bloody maths... next to a picture of some bit of aeromotive equipment we were never going to see.
This is why I have bought myself a lathe and keep asking stupid questions on here...
