Does anyone know where i can find an downloadable version of "Rebuilding and Tuning Ford's Kent Crossflow engine"

I thought I remembered a nice link on here to download it but I've searched but can't find it.

Cheers

If you can't find the download and want some good information, sign up to Turbosports forum, really good knowledge on Ford engines from people who build them

I thought it was on scribd, but it may have just been someone on here shared it on one of those shared resource sites ....

try searching the forum (via google) and you'll get an answer. If you do find it useful, please buy the book and support the authors.

A copy went on the bay just before Crimbo for £8.99. Don't believe Amazon prices.
Is there anything particular that you want or the whole book?

Never found the book very helpful apart from torque wrench settings but the Burtonpower catalogue gives some suggestions on tuning the crossflow as does the Pumaracing site.

Thanks all for your replies. Sorted an electronic copy from a kind member that sent me it. Thanks.

Mike, I am happy to support the authors but I'm not sure I think it will be worth £75+ to buy a secondhand copy of it as it doesnt seem to be available at a sensible price or new anywhere.

Totally agree, I was very disappointed with this book; the author is nowhere near the level of e.g. David Vizard. Most of the book described basic rebuilding techniques which you'd find in an old Haynes manual etc.
