There are tons of books about engines, how they're built, the technology involved, racing use, etc. Go to you're local bookstore and pick some books up; also, check out the website that sweeney posted.

I't not hard to find out how an engine works. I'm 14 and I have a pretty fair knowledge of cars, parts, etc. Look up books from the library, google (helps loads) those sites posted, but you have to at least use an actual engine. I don't think this belongs in the chop forums though, probably the technical forums...
