Dear Slider:
Even though my main inline iterest falls over in the Ford camp with the 240/300 inch inline sixes, I own any early copy of Leo's book and have read it cover-to-cover many times; always finding tips and ideas that apply regardless of the engine brand.
So I would recommend that you consider reading the book written by (the late) Smokey Yunick. Having just moved, my copy is still packed away somewhere in a pile of boxes so I can't give you the exact title or publisher but you should be able to find it on amazon.com or via a web search.
While most of the book is directed at Smokey's work with the small block Chevy and stock car racing, he outlines a great deal of theory (in a way we mortals can understand) and experience that can be applied to virtually any engine. It's well worth reading and having for general reference.
