i already know Chilton/Haynes aren't that great, but I recently received a copy of the official Honda service manual that I won on ebay. How does what I have stack up to a Helms?

Even after a quick glance, Chilton/Haynes doesn't come close to the manual I have now.

Just curious.

 

They are pretty much the same thing, it has been told that Helms actually makes the factory manual so your good with what you have no need to get a Helms. I also have the factory and I am completely happy with it.

 

Quick response. Thanx for the info. I must admit, this factory manual ROCKS! I never realized just how vague the Chiltons/Haynes are.
