This is a very helpful, detailed source of information. However, there appears to be an error in the ring gap location as illustrated on page 3-71, in figure 175. Both diagrams are identical. This could be accurate, but if so, why is it necessary to have two diagrams? Number 85773125 appears in the figure, which might be helpful to you in locating the figure in question. Is the figure correct, or incorrect? Shouldn't one diagram be a mirror image of the other?

I used this book to dismantle and reassmble the heads from my 1988 S-10 Blazer. This was my first time ever doing anything more than a basic oil change (the book is good for that too). Want to learn about your vehicle? Buy a Chilton manual.

everything you ever needed to know about such a huck-o-trash car

This book has been very informative as to keeping my 1987 Celebrity well-maintained. My car now has over 150,000 miles, and it is still running in great shape. The photos and the instructions are respectively very detailed and clear and simple to understand. I would reccommend this book to anyone who wished to get at least ten thousand more miles out of their car for little effort at keeping it maintained.

I RECENTLY GOT AN 88 CUTLASS, AND I MISTAKENLY GOT A HAYNES BOOK INSTEAD OF CHILTONS. THE HAYNES WASN'T AS SIMPLEY PUT AND EFFICIENT AS CHILTON'S WAS. IT ISN'T BIG ENOUGH TO BE IN THE WAY, YET NOT SMALL ENOUGH TO GET LOST! I RECCOMEND THIS TO ALL BEGGINERS AT FIXING UP CARS!

Hi there, I would just like to say a few words. I have a 1982 Grand Le Mans, and I am still driving the car, because of this book. With the help of the book, I recked my whole car apart, and then I re built it. I love my Grand Le Mans, and I would not change the car for any thing in the world. thanks for listening.

Owned this book many years. is very in depth on most models in cluding materials that specific parts are made of. That can be very useful when welding or doing custom machining. Have matched its info to factory manuals and found it to be truer than any other out there. I needed to buy very few afterward because it covers so many makes, models and years. Found it useful in doing antique Brittish, Italian and Japanese motorcycles repairs. I would buy this book before any other if i owned a general motorcycle repair shop!!!!

This is a great reference for repairing or "fixing" any part of a Toyota Truck between the years of 1970 to 1986. My father gave me his Toyota 4Runner and it was in great shape. I had a liver transplant and was given a wish from "The Make a Wish Foundation". I decided to "beef" up my truck so that I would be able to drive down main street and have one of the hottest vehicles for a high school student. Make a Wish, put in a new interior, a automatic transmission (from a manual), cleaned the engine, and gave my truck a terrific paint job. When I received the truck from them, it started to have problems. I turned to my Chilton Toyota truck manual, and in less than two weeks, I had "weeded out the bugs". My friends oohed and aaahhed at my glorious vehicle.

From the chilton manual, I found troubleshooting tips, great black-and-white pictures( so you know exactly what part your looking at, and helpful safety precautions. This book also has a sixteen full color page section to help you with tuning and repairing. At the beginning, it gives you the places of where to find your vin numbers and before you begin, a checklist for the tools needed. This book probably saved my fame from becoming a total mess. Everyone including I, loved that truck. And I owe it all the "Chilton's Repair and Tune-Up Guide for Toyota Trucks 1970-1986".
