DIY Moto Fix The Two Stroke Dirt Bike Engine Building Handbook
The DIY Moto Fix Team is pleased to announce that we received the first proof of The Two Stroke Dirt Bike Engine Building Handbook this week, so we had to get some beauty shots of the print book out in Paul's workshop to show it off to you! 

First off, this soft cover book is 8.5" x 11" and weighs over 2lbs. We are happy to bring you nearly 300 pages of engine building knowledge and over 300 highly detailed color photos. Take a look at the photos below to learn more about what's packed into the handbook.

The Two Stroke Dirt Bike Engine Building Handbook features an entire section dedicated to inspecting crankshafts. Within it, a comprehensive overview on how to measure runout, pinpoint surface wear, and true crankshafts is discussed. In the photo below the book is discussing the three types of crankshaft misalignment conditions that can be present on new and used crankshafts.

The handbook covers a lot more than just engine building technique. We strove to put together a comprehensive reference that helps someone perform a major overhaul on their engine from start to finish. Here's a complete list of all the chapters that you can expect to find in the book:

Did we mention this book is thick? We went beyond providing basic information and included more detailed explanations throughout the book. Littered within the chapters are detailed sub-sections and pop-outs that we've deemed Race Engine Engine Building Techniques, Technical Takeaways, and Hot-Tips.

Race Engine Building Techniques cover topics that would fall outside a normal engine build, but are standard practice for builders who are preparing performance engines. Race Engine Building Techniques are often lengthy in discussion and can span several pages at a time. Examples of these techniques covered in the book include: Setting and Checking Port Timing, Checking Compression Ratio, and Checking Squish Clearance. 

Technical Takeaways are sub-sections that detail the how and why behind specific engine building techniques as well as highlight the appropriate procedure for the given task. Technical Takeaways are often used to introduce repeated tasks once so that they can quickly be referenced later. Examples of Technical Takeaways include: Installing/removing bearings, tightening sequences, and retaining ring installation.

Hot-Tips are quick blurbs that fall outside the normal discussion, but can add incredible value depending on the user's specific situation. Hot-Tips also serve as a way to communicate friendly reminders of things to double check or do prior to proceeding on with the build.
