Re: Shop Manuals and Postings

[Owen <renarac@domain.elided>]

Here's an addition to that....
I put the "important info" i.e. Torque tables, torque sequence diagrams,
maintence schedules, lube point diagrams (so I don't forget one), firing
order, timing, ignition wire routing pictures, ect stuff you look up
frequently in one 3-ring binder. Each page I put in those see through
plastic holders and seal them shut with tape. It sure saves on running back
from the garage, washing up with Goop, drying the hands, cracking open the
"good book"(hhheheh), and running back to the garage.
I *HATE* greasy pages.
