True that.

Are they really that great though?

Are they something like the Dealership ones?
When I go to Honda to find parts for the car, like when I changed the valve cover they have pretty good picture with everything, part numbers and descriptions and the whole deal

They ARE the dealer manuals. When you take your car into the dealer, guess what they pull out to work on it, a Helm's!

I am just glad I got mine before they went on BO.

And P.S. the CD versions are illegal.

You can get one if you want, but if you've got any experience w/ a motor whatsoever, it's pretty common sense. Just check on something like the Icelord prelude site or http://www.e-toolbox.com/ads for procedures and torque specs. The last site pretty much has a guide for most anything you'd want to do; just print it out beforehand, or have your laptop in your garage like I did.

EDIT - the link is either down or wrong, i'll try it back out when I get home from work.

Do they do one for the VTEC 4ws '92?
Im going to have to drain my PAS then fill the replacement putting in there with the cradle. Apart from topping PAS system up Ive never had to drain/reset my 4ws sytem!

I think I should get one really, Like LudyKrus said its pretty much common sense (..and torque-specs).

How much do they cost?

yeah, I'm about finished w/ my first complete bulid ever, and haven't really needed anything other than torque specs. If I did have a question, i checked that e-toolbox site and it had anything you could need. But some people prefer the paper copy sittin in front of them....I would say a Helm's is a very good investment, if you are gonna keep the car for a while.

the 92 manual does not have the h22 in it. you have to buy the '93 manual if you want one that covers the h22.

I got mine at helminc.com too.... watch ebay... I see them on there every so often. Or check the classifieds on prelude boards. People sell their ludes and then sell their helms seperate.

When I saw that helms didnt make a manual for my 240sx I found a guy on ebay that sells all kinds of <U>factory</U> service manuals. Got it for a good deal too, just search for manuals and a **** load should come up.
