    Default VP - V8 Engine Rebuild Request

    hi guys,

    I am currently stripping and rebuilding my 308 from a VP as it got damaged in the floods, and I'm chasing the repair manual for VN - VP.
    I'm really only after the 'V8 Engine Maintenance & Rebuild' section.

    I am lacking in money at the moment, otherwise I would buy for ease.
    If anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated!!

    thanks,
    Jimmy

    I paid $50 from ebay for the genuine Holden item which is the only one I would trust. Never seen a pdf version though.

    Your rebuilding your engine and you cant afford a measily $50 for the manual?
    How are you going to afford the machinig, pistons, seals etc?
    Going to be hard to find a PDF version of a decked block you can download.

    Wanted to buy:

    1. T5 V8 Bellhousing and Clutch fork assembly suit VP
    2. V8 Tail Shaft, T5, Suit IRS VP
    3. T5 VB Gear Box

    PM Me if you got what i need...

    Take your digital camera and a mate to the library with you.
    Get him/her to hold the pages open while you photograph them one at a time.
    Do it near a window so you don't have the flash going off all the time.
    In Australia, you can copy up to 10% of a publication for the purpose of "private study, research and criticism" without worrying about copyright.
