86BRATMAN Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 the haynes would have everything you'd need unless you can get somebody on here to scan the fsm pages for you, i don't have a scanner or i'd post up some from my chilton's manual, just have fun with it, at least you are doing it to learn and not needing a motor rebuilt now, it'll be a good learning experiance since most all subie motors are assembled/disassembled in similar ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
