Good book, lousy binding August 6, 2004
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I opened the book on my kitchen table. Looks good, with lots of details. For example, when replacing the impeller in an Alpha outdrive, there are lots of careful photos and line drawings to guide you through the process.
I took the book outside to start working; within 15 minutes, the pages started coming out. Soon entire sections were falling out. The binding is worthless. Once I drilled holes in the book and put it in a 3-ring binder, it worked fine.
Details can be a bit more sketchy when performing more complex maintenance (e.g. "remove any accessories that will be in the way of removing the valve cover, then remove the bolts). I suppose that if you are going to work on rockers or remove heads, they assume you have some skills and confidence! However, the instructions are clear and lead you through the process.
Overall, the book is good, and similar to the Haynes or Chiltons auto repair manuals. Although the book covers several engines and outdrives, it does a good job of keeping them straight. I would recommend this book to the "shade tree" mechanic who wants to work on the engine and outdrive with confidence (or at least be able to speak knowledgably to the mechanic).
