Looking to learn more about our engines, I've found rebuild guides to be a great resources on some of my other cars.
Is there a go-to source for these you can recommend? Thanks! |

Wilson's book, John Muir's idiot guide, and a shop manual.
In 2005 a guy here on 914 world named Mike Rose sent me a complete shop manual, including schematics and fuel injection, on a CD. Didn't ask for a penny in return, so I burned him a CD of "driving music" and sent it to him. I have the info in a file on my computer and I'm happy to pay it forward if anyone is interested. |

Hi, I’m just getting ready to drop my 1.8 and if you can, I’d gladly compensate for any cost or time, but would love any help as well... Thanks. |
