Default Where to find instructions for my Sol head gasket replacement

I have a 94 DOHC Sol, and the head gasket needs replaced. I cannot find a helm's manual on ebay or at helms.com. I don't know what else to do, I can't find a specific enough walkthrough anywhere online. Any idea's?

You really recommend that? Everybody I talk to says they are a waste?

if all your doing is a head gasket change then haynes or chiltons should be okay, you can always return them to the store after you are done with it.

Helms has a lot of Del Sol manuals avaialble...

Yeah, your link for the 95 sol shows service manuals in stock, but unfortunatly my car is a 94. I realize that the differences are slight, but there must be a reason why they are different books, and if I'm going to pay like $70, I might as well get the right one.

Right, so go to the site n get yourself a 94 book. that was just an example. the engines did not change from 94-95...

yeah, its a waste, i tried using it when swaping my engine (im still a n00b to cars, but yeah) and it was like common sense ****. I just took stuff off and put it back where it went, and thats all the book told me to do. stupid haynes, only reason i used it b/c my stepdad already had it

I'm not stupid, I realize that the link shows that 95 helm's are in stock, but my point is that 94 aren't.

Call their customer service line and ask for Alex Weston, he says that they are in stock.

Spend the money on the Helms. It's the best 62 dollars you'll EVER spend on your car.
