AJP Engine Manual

[IanMack]

My project is moving on quickly BUT i need an AJP engine workshop manual to help with the rebuild. Does anyone know where i could buy/beg or borrow a manual?? Any help greatly appreciated

[TT Tim]

There is an engine manual around, it's written by a third party and is a build manual rather than a rebuild, i.e. it plots the build of an AJP8 from a box of lovely shiny new bits.

Was a guy on ebay selling them, at leat that's where I got mine.

Ian, I have one of those said manuals, think I paid £30 of ebay.

Not a bad manual, but it is for a 4.2, so not sure if much changes for the 4.5.

If you need one, its yours for £15 worth of beer tokens, and I'll post it for free

I'd love to get hold of a copy of an engine manual. Anyone willing to copy and post me one for a price?
