Wow! Nice touch Wayne. Thanks. Hopefully I can keep the grease and oil off the book while I finally fix something on my car (instead of the dealer). Looking forward to receiving it in the mail.

Received my copy for Christmas.

I believe it was from Amazon.

It seems like a very comprehensive, easy to follow guide to a lot of the projects that I wouldn't normally try. I definitely support the theory that having the book at hand is easier than clicking through all of the pictures on an online site (invaluable though that resource is).

Got mine for x-mass!
Great job.

Already used it on page 60.
Used my Durametric software to check my camsaft positioning sensors as an sign of IMS failure. Mine were 0! It was a great to see that!

Thanks
Wayne

Just got my book from Pelican (with signature from Wayne :-)
Believe me, YOU WANT THIS BOOK!!!!!
It's like the "Bentley for Dummies" (in a very good way).
Lot's of color pictures. And what I liked that it includes references to aftermarket parts where it makes sense. There is even a section which discusses engine swaps and one about Turbos and Superchargers, you won't find that in the Bentley
The only article which was surprisingly missing was how to install an underdrive pulley, strange.
But otherwise a really GREAT book, go out and order yours!

Ordered mine last week - should arrive here in Australia on 6/1/11.
Thats my New Years present to my wife - if she don't like it, I'll keep it for myself in the garage.....

My wife pre-ordered my copy from Amazon, and I found it under the Christmas tree along with a random orbital polisher, a Ctek3300, and a Porsche tire gauge.
Very nice surprises! I wonder where she got those ideas.
I haven't been able to stop reading the book. It will be very helpful (in Spring). It is well written and organized, and has great pictures. I had already used the online information to resolve a convertible top issue last Summer.
Thanks Wayne!
