Two Stroke High Performance Engine Design and Tuning
230 pages, softback, Lodgemark Press, 1968

Nice book to have on the shelf, more in the practical section along with Jennings than with the theoretical with Blair and Heywood

Plenty of good pictures and advice about building an engine, including truing a crankshaft and opening up ports. Material on carburation and ignition is the same tired old 1960 stuff that everyone bashed out, but then this is a 1960's book.

There is much more emphasis on metallurgy than is normal, discussion on piston and ring life and crankshaft balance. Some good photos of Konig engines, which older sidecar fans will remember.
