Basics of Engine Building
Hey all,
Since my Miata was totaled over here: https://www.miataturbo.net/media-53/...totaled-81499/
I think the next logical step is to get a chassis and build an engine over the winter. Nothing crazy, probably just a normal rebuild + forged rods/pistons.
Anyway I'm looking for someone to point me in a good direction to learn about engine building, I've been looking over some articles but it seems most of them focus on pushrod v8's. While I'm sure a lot of the info carries over, I'm looking for info focused more toward DOHC i4's obviously.
Any help is appreciated.. books/pdfs/articles etc would be great.

I've seen a few of Bogus_SVO's posts - I'll check out the other ones.
I'm looking into a few books on Amazon.
This one looks like it covers the engine as well as other repairs:
