That site is awesome, it's something I refer to quite often. It doesn't go into extreme detail on a lot of things, but gives the reader a great basic understanding of the underlying principles on MANY things. Besides the engine, there are great articles on how gears work, fuel tanks, brakes, cams, suspension, steering, tires, turbochargers, superchargers...the list goes on and on.

Dude calm down. Ur no expert thats for sure and there was a time where you were a newb so just be patient with them. They are here for our advice and becuase they want to learn something.

This is a good one for newbs too:
