Andy's book is not a step-by-step rebuild guide like the OP was looking for. He even states as much in the introduction section. Andy's book is focused on building 600 to 900 horsepower max. performance engines. Sure it contains some good relevant information, but 80+ percent of it is not going to help a guy doing a stock or mild street performance build.

FWIW, in the preface to his book, Andy recommneds "How to Rebuild Any Automotive Engine" by Barry Kluczyk as a step-by-step guide for new engine builders. However, I think his recommendation is more based on the fact that both his and Barry's book are by the same publisher. I bought Barry's book also, but I'd recommmend the Don Taylor book over it.
