will the factory Type R manual tell me how to rebuild my engine?
Looks like I will need to rebuild my 97 Type R engine. Will the $100 dealership Type R manual tell me step by step how to rebuild my motor, with torque specs and recommendations, or do I need to buy something else?
And can it show me how to rebuild my GSR head?

The factory service manual has everything you need to know. It is for all Integra models, so it has the GSR info as well.

In case it's not clear... the "Helm manual" and the "factory service manual" and the "dealership manual" are all the same thing. You can buy one here.
If I were you, I would just buy a '98 Integra service manual (item 61ST705 for $64), in which all the information is the same as for your '97. Here's why.
Each manual normally covers all Integra models for that model year. However, there is an "ITR supplement" in '97, so for a complete set for '97, you would have to buy a '96 Integra service manual for $62 and a '97 ITR supplement for $35.
The reason they published an ITR supplement for the '97 is that the ITR came out partway through the '97 Integra model year, after the '96-97 Integra service manual had been published without information for the Type R.
In some years, such as 2000 and 2001, the car is similar enough to the previous year that they only publish a supplement instead of a complete service manual. For example, if your ITR is a 2001, you need the '98 service manual, and then there is a 2001 supplement that covers all changes since '98 (for all Integra models including the ITR).
To summarize:
For a '97 ITR, you can use the '96-97 Integra service manual, but you also need the '97 ITR supplement (items 61ST702 $62 and 61ST703 $35).
For a '98 ITR, you need the '98 Integra service manual (item 61ST705 $64).
For an '00 ITR, you need the '98 Integra service manual and, if you want all the information to be absolutely complete and accurate, the '00 Integra service manual supplement (items 61ST705 $64 and 61ST707 $38).
For an '01 ITR, you need the '98 Integra service manual and, if you want all the information to be absolutely complete and accurate, the '01 Integra service manual supplement (items 61ST705 $64 and 61ST708 $38).
But the various years are so similar that you can pretty much get by with just the '98 Integra service manual and use it for all years ITR.
