Summary: Way too general
Comment: As someone ignorant of marine diesels, I wanted a book that compared the various brands, and told of strong and weak points. I don't want to *design* an engine; I just want to know what I'd be getting into if I found a particular engine in a boat that I was interested in buying. This book isn't a guide as much as it's a theory book. I don't want to know about metal formulation of crankshaft journals, I want to know how difficult it is to replace them.
Very disapointing book. Maybe I'll like it better if I ever become facinated with diesels. The author did seem to really know his material, though, maybe too well.

Summary: Complete guide to diesel engines is complete!
Comment: For a decent hobby mechanic with a lot of experience with all types of gasoline engines but none with diesels this book was a goldmine of information for me. While it talks nothing of specific diesel engines, the theory of diesel engines, components and systems is explained in such clear, concise and easy to understand language that I couldn't put the book down. and that is a lot to be said for this type of book! The author doesn't let his extensive experience and understanding of theory get in the way of clear, concise explanations. This book is WONDERFUL!

Summary: A must have for the new owner of a marine diesel.
Comment: Excellent graphics and descriptions. Provided enough detail for the novice or the expert.
