Someone with a Helms Manual...

Could anyone that has a 93-95 Helms manual please scan the pages for doing an engine swap? I wanted to get detailed information on how to remove my H22.

Thanks in advance.

That encompasses many pages. If you are considering pulling your engine you should invest the $6X in the manual. You will never regret buying it.

just buy the book. otherwise you'll be posting here every time you need it, asking for scans from people that weren't too cheap to buy it.

btw, i'm allowed to be a dick because people told me the same thing when i asked for scans before i bought the helms.

Alright, this might come of kinda' harsh, but hey. . .everyone here thinks I'm a dick already, so why fight it?


Buy the Helms manual. If you can afford the $2000+ price of this engine swap, you can afford the manual. You are going to spend 2x the cost of the manual on fluids and hoses alone while doing this swap. Would you let a doctor do heart surgery on you if he was following instructions cobbled together by some 19 year old punk-kid working in his garage (me)?

The benefits of having the manaul during the swap are numerous:

1) If you get stuck, you don't need to post a question and wait hours for response. You can find the answer in a few minutes.

2) WIRING DIAGRAMS/VACCUM DIAGRAMS. I spent probably 3-4 hours pouring over the wiring diagrams when doing my swap. You NEED these!

3) TORQUE SPECS. You don't want to be "guestimating" how tight your engine mounts or suspension bolts should be.

4) FUTURE USE. Buy it once, use it for the life of the car. Essentially EVERY procedure you would ever think of doing on your car is detailed in the manual, with step by step instructions and and exploded views.

That being said, I do realize this might be a budget oriented project. You MAY (key word = may) be able to get by using the PDF in the FAQ.

Just buy it dude. I mean I didn't mind scanning a few pages for you when you did your climate control, but man it was such a hassle esp. when there are a lot of pages involved. If you can afford to buy climate control parts and mod your Lude, surely you can afford a $6x.xx service manual.
