short answer:

haynes/chilton = cliff notes of a helms.

pay the extra money, get a real manual.

honda or Helmsinc.com or something like that. Do a google search.

I also like helms because it has stuff in steps vs paragraph forms. MUCH easier to follow when working.

best money you could spend is on a helms. And it is a must for motor building.
