Automotive Engines: Theory and Servicing, 10th Edition, provides structured instruction in automotive powerplant principles, testing, and mechanical rebuilding. Published as part of the Pearson Automotive Professional Technician Series, the textbook connects workshop theory to hands-on service methods.

Author James Halderman addresses shop fundamentals, fluid and electrical systems, and major mechanical assemblies. Subjects range from safety, fasteners, and precision measuring to gasoline and diesel combustion, forced induction, and complete engine disassembly and machining.

Learning objectives align with ASE standards. Instructional elements include customer-related case studies and step-by-step photographic sequences intended to assist with fault diagnosis and procedural practice.
