Harley-Davidson Twin Cam
This book from Wolfgang Publications shows the how and why of performance engine building with over 500 color photos. Not a what-to-buy-book - it's a how-to-build book. Each chapter covers a specific subassembly of the Twin-Cam motor. The reader can pick and choose what chapters they need at the time, be it porting a set of heads, installing cams, or assembling a flywheel assembly. For anyone planning to build or rebuild a Twin Cam that combines power with durability, this book walks the reader through two complete assemblies.

If you're a rider who takes pride in doing most your own work, this is a book you need. From a simple rebuild to a
