You forgot 'Screw to Win' (aka 'Nuts, Bolts and Fasteners').<br>
<br>
Smokey Yunick's book is pretty good, too (mostly for V8s, but plenty
of good tips):<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a book out there on rebuilding
BMC C-Series engines? Preferably, AH 3000 engines!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The book would hopefully show one what
to look for, options regarding performance parts and
modifications that needed to be done by specialists. ie, I
don’t want to get near the end of some rebuild process and
then be told that part number xyz needs to go off to the
lab to be machined to the nearest nanowotsit and have
platinum inserts installed. If you see what I mean!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Maybe something one stage up from
“Engines for Dummies”……..<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have looked on Google and, so far,
failed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, I’ve got the manuals.<o:p></o:p></p>
