i have the chilton manuals.... i was just looking for HT's write ups....mainly for the better step by step pics. i have my fair share of knowledge about motors and such, but i just don't have the hands on experience and i will probably be attacking this by myself, along with HT

you probably shouldnt be attempting this if you need the service manuals for anything more than torque specs and clearances.

Look in the FAQs in the Tech forums such as all-motor and forced induction, there are some good guides on there.

Good luck, educate yourself before you dive in. Triple check EVERYTHING

How to bible:

But seriously a lot goes into rebuilding a complete motor. i dont recommend you just jumping in and doing it. Watching somebody first would be ideal. be careful and dont use a bunch of expensive parts on ur first try.

i'm not in a rush to put the motor in so i have plenty of time to research ( at least until my sohc takes a ****, it just ticked 200k last week ). i just can't find any sites with good pics. i know plenty about different cars and motors ( i've been readin message boards for years along with equal times worth of mags....back when sport compact car used to be good up until now) i just don't have actual "hands on" experience....on that note


keep the links coming people...
