chilton isnt bad.....from what ive seen, but I dont own one.

My guess though is that, the helms is better. I dont think some manual from an auto parts store is going to beat out a full fledged service manual.

Helm. Hence the reason it is a lot more expensive.

Judging by the fact that a Helms is maybe 50x thicker than a haynes, it is probably better.

Haynes Blows...It does help for some things though. But you're way better off with Helms Inc.

LOL
i hope youre not serious

Ive owned one of each of these (haynes, chiltons, helms) and the money I spent on the helms is more than worth it
Id buy another just for use inside if I had another $80

Helms has pictures that even a child can read, understand, and comprehend

Haynes has pictures that suck and the instructions are vague
