I want to learn about cars because my father is a failure and

Nigga, its like your asking what books can you read to learn how to ride a bicycle. There are none. You just fucking learn as you go.

Yes, but I want to know about the insides of a car etc.
I know literally nothing about how a car works currently

So there aren't any books on car internals?
I'd rather not listen to some mongoloid "youtuber"

I saved this post a while back, maybe it'll help

I'd begin by reading four stroke performance tuning by AG Bell.
Get the Forth edition

Slightly more advanced is Advanced Engine Technology by Heinz Heisler

Engines: An Introduction by John L Lumley is one of the better books I've read on the subject. Probably too indepth for a casual, but leads on well from the other two.

Exactly the kind of shit I'm looking for, if there's anything else like it I'd appreciate it
Don't worry about it being too technical, I'm not a physics major but I have taken Calc-Physics I and II

Get a haynes or some other shop manual for whatever shitbox you buy.

>implying this learning can't be done more efficiently with reading

Go to a library OP.

YouTube would be most helpful. Look up transparent engines, those show the workings in real time. Also for hands on, I suggest taking apart a lawnmower engine.
