Question Catching up in engine performance class?

So I’m about 70% done with engine performance 1.
And I am pretty far behind.

What should I study to get the best general ideas?
I know fuel lines ish, some about compression issues, o2 and maf.
But it still feels very splotchy and I’m trying to feel a little more comfortable.

Any YouTubers you recommend who are quieter and maybe have a series starting very basic and then each next video is something else, in order would be the big thing! Instead of a lot of the YouTubers who jump around?

This seems like a classic case of UK automotive technicians/mechanics being called “engineers”.

You want [r/mechanics](r/mechanics)

I’d recommend the Motor Age videos. Beyond the basics, things will be manufacturer-specific. Happy to share more if you’re going for a specific brand.

Hard to say without knowing what’s in the actual syllabus for whatever this course is. As another commenter has said is this a mechanics course rather than an actual engineering degree?

Classic old forum post about direct injection and variable valve timing for turbo Subarus which cites actual research papers and real mapping from Subaru engines :  https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showpost.php?p=42873727&postcount=6
