Hi Guys,

I'm searching for really basic infos about the inner workings of our cars (My background is a technical one but nothing todo with cars )

I'm talking about stuff like: (the more V8/3rd Gen centered the better)
-Basic Motor architecture
-Cams
-Crank Shafts
-EGR Operation
-Cylinder / Piston Types
-TPI/TBI/Carb
-etc etc etc

I have read through a LOT of the forums during the past year and learned a lof from friends of mine while working on my car (two of them are really good mechanics themselves and taught me as much as possible^^) but I'm still sometimes missing the "bigger" picture and want to learn more

Would be grateful for any infos

These were the ones I found mentioned in other threads:
