Excellent intro to Diesel Engines for auto mechanics.
By Roger K. Mathura
This book is an excellent intro to Diesel engines, suitable for students of auto-mechanics, and do-it -yourselfers. It begins from basics, and goes all the way to the new electronic-controlled diesels. It shows systems from the major manufacturers, and includes small block designs. One drawback is the lack of color photos, but there are diagrams on every page. The book is worth its price.

A good book to get an overall understanding on diesels
By Wayne Stan
Most of the book is great on getting a good foundation on how diesels and thier periphrial system work. Good beginning diagnostic ideas also. Some of the book has diagrams that are only a little help unless you have that particluar diesel engine. Good for anyone wanting to know how these amazing engins work. Forget almost all you know about gasoline engins. Diesels are very different and this book is good to read to find out how different they are.

By Amazon Customer
This has been one of the best books I've read on diesel engines. I'm not sure if it is a textbook, but is detailed like a textbook, but easy to understand. It doesn't deal much with the new diesel controls, but is a very good basic diesel book. I would recommend it as a first read for anyone wanting to learn more about the basics of the diesel engine.
