Resources for learning about engine maintenance and Repair?

I have an older Ford F150 and Chevy Blazer, I can do most maintenance, oil changes, brake pads, shocks. But I want to learn how to do the more complex things. Does anyone know of good books, websites, tips, that would be helpful to learn more about auto maintenance and repair?Resources for learning about engine maintenance and Repair?
if you go to pep boys or alot of mechanic stores they carry %26quot;Hayes manuals%26quot; or a different brand of manual but it will tell you anything you ever need to know about the car and its only about 15 bucks. it will beat the heck out of any website because it is specific with pictures, diagrams, and step by step instruction. pepboys has the best selection i findResources for learning about engine maintenance and Repair?
Here's a thought... Google.comResources for learning about engine maintenance and Repair?
It really depends on what part of the systems you are interested in.A general book would tell you all about the different systems in a car(brakes,ac,suspension,engine performance,transmission etc).I'm in a class right now we use modern automotive technology .This breaks down how they work, the components they use and troubleshooting in all aspects of the car.If you want to learn strictly about engines than go to borders books or similar and see what books they have on strictly engine repair.A Chilton's/Haynes manual wouldn't teach you anything, it would just show you the steps on how to do it, for that particular car.Hope that helps.
