    About this ebook

    When Chrysler released the "new" third-generation Hemi engine in 2003, the automotive public placed high expectations on the Hemi’s triumphant return. The Hemi Gen III 5.7L, 6.1L, and 6.2L supercharged and 6.4L engines didn’t disappoint; they produced copious amounts of horsepower and torque while delivering exceptional durability. These powerful engines occupy the engine bays of new Challengers, Chargers, Magnums, 300C, Durangos, Jeep Grand Cherokees, and Ram trucks. Many of these engines have been used for high-performance service or logged hundreds of thousands of road miles, and as a result, many need to be rebuilt.

    Long-time Mopar engineer, racing coordinator, and veteran author Larry Shepard delivers thorough instructions for each crucial step of the rebuilding process. Before commencing engine tear down, Shepard shows you how to perform compression and leak down testing to accurately assess the health of the engine. Disassembly and comprehensive inspection instructions are provided so you can determine and remedy any underlying problems. Expert insight allows you to select the ideal parts package for your rebuild, whether OEM replacement or compatible and complementary high-performance parts are selected. The most pertinent information for the latest machining practices is provided, so you can coordinate with the machine shop to return the block, head, intake, and other surfaces to like-new condition. Assembling the cylinder heads as well as accurately measuring, checking clearances, and test fitting parts is detailed, so you’re sure all components are within spec and ready for final assembly. Finally, comprehensive step-by-step instructions are provided for assembling all components into a completed engine.

    The modern Hemi engine is lighter and stronger and offers far better drivability and performance than its predecessors. However, after hundreds of thousands of miles, extreme use, or high-performance applications, these rugged engines require a professional caliber rebuild. With this book, you can confidently complete your Hemi rebuild and get your car or truck back into action.

      New Hemi Engines 2003 to Present: How to Build Max Performance by Larry Shepard....a great magazine style book. I shouldn't say magazine exactly. Same format...same size...but with great quality. It's exactly what the title says it is and with the CarTech name behind this book you are assured you are getting a great read. Browsed through it...shared it with family...went right into my CarTech collection of books (all great quality informative reads). I expect nothing less from CarTech. The men in my husband's family are race car fanatics. A great weekend is one spent hanging out in someone's garage working on a vehicle or two. I seek out these books for that reason alone. And as I mentioned....they don't disappoint. When my husband reaches for this book...and it takes a few hours to put it down...then I know I'm going to give another great review. This time I passed this book over to a neighbor...they were quite intrigued by all the info and motivated to start working on their own projects. Always great graphics, great pics, chock-full of information. The author of this book, Larry Shepard is a "a distinguished engineer, parts manager, and racing coordinator, has a deep history within Chrysler Corporation and Mopar Racing". He's authored many other books and has a reputation for writing some great high performance rebuild manuals. In other words, he knows his stuff. A great quality read, a wonderful guide, informative...highly recommend.Thanks as always to the great people of LibraryThing and to the amazing people at CarTech for my free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review to which I gladly and voluntarily gave.

      This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Another awesome Larry Shepard manual! This newest HOW TO book shows you how to soup up a Hemi engine! Well detailed information, concise explanations, great instructions. There are, as usual, loads of useful photographs for guidance. Grab one to add to your collection, before you dive in! You'll be glad it's on hand.

      A very good informative book on the Hemi engine from the beginning to present day. If you like the Hemi engine and like to piddle with them this is the book you need. Tells how to make even the ones of today faster and how to improve them. A keeper for your shelf for sure.

      A few clarifications might be in order up front. First, this is not a book about the famous hemi of the 1960s. That engine, though it shares some characteristics with this power plant, was of a different time and different technology. That was the hemi spelled with a small "h". This book is about the engine with the brand name Hemi, spelled with a capital "H". Secondly, the equipment needed to tune and level of mechanical sophistication of these newer engines will make such work prohibitively expensive for the average garage or shade tree based hobbyist. But what this book, and other similar books addressing the building of modern engines, can do is increase the level of the reader's knowledge about the engine as well as provide a kind of blue print to follow when one is planning an engine upgrade or complete rebuild.Like all the fine CarTech books this is laid out in an orderly format starting with a general introduction to the subject and then chapter by chapter breaking down the engine and the work into systems staring, in this case, with the engine blocks and proceeding through eleven more chapters ending with the exhaust system. The last and thirteenth chapter deals with the all important engine break-in routine. The book is heavily illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and tables which add a great deal to the text. There are sidebars, highlighted in yellow, which provide additional detail to the subject under discussion. I found the chapter on camshaft selection particularly well written and dense with helpful, if not crucial, information. Clearly, the author knows his subject intimately and shares it with palpable enthusiasm. As I said at the beginning much of the information in this book provides an opportunity for the owner of a Hemi-powered car to more fully understand the engine in his vehicle and what further potential exists for that engine. Understanding how that further potential may be realized provides a map to planning and executing a rebuild. Whether the owner does his own work being lucky enough to have the myriad of equipment needed to do that work or whether he has it done professionally this book will be of great benefit.

      Another well produced automotive book published by CarTech. Larry Sehpard has written a performance book on the new Hemi engine. The author covers all aspects of the new engine from an introductory history up to and including supercharging. Each page is has relevant photographs. The photos are clear and in color. The book is less then two hundred pages yet covers all the basics. If you have an interest in getting high performance out of your 2003 or newer Hemi engine this would be a good book to start with.

      A quality book on the workings and specifications of the new Hemi engines. The book starts with a short history of hemi engines and ends with my favorite part, supercharging. Every page contains colored photographs and makes this a good addition to any hemi owners library.

      If you aren't familiar with this publisher, you are in for a pleasant surprise. Every book in their line follows a similar pattern: detailed instructions + numerous color photos and illustrations. This book is no exception. There are typically 3-4 color photos on each page, showing in detail the steps required. There are also a lot of charts that show specifications/timing/tolerances.Thick pages, heavy duty cover. Nicely done, as usual. Another top-quality product.Advance Review Copy courtesy of the publisher.

      Was so excited to win this for a dear friend who loves working and building engines! He said the book is the best he's ever read and plans to share it with his friends who are also interested in engines. Thank you so much and best wishes on this amazing and helpful and educational book!
