I’m looking for advice on getting a comprehensive workshop manual for my car. I need something detailed and accurate that makes maintenance, repairs, and troubleshooting easier.

There are many options online, including official manuals, PDFs, and third-party guides, but I’m not sure which ones are trustworthy. Has anyone here used a manual they would recommend?

Also, are there tips for spotting official or high-quality versions versus outdated or incomplete ones? Any...

I’m looking for recommendations on a side window mesh net for my car. I want something easy to install and remove, fits standard car windows, and provides good ventilation without letting bugs in. Durability is important too, as I plan to use it during long drives and camping trips.

I have seen various types online, some attach with suction cups, others slide into the window track. Has anyone tried a mesh net that does not interfere with rolling the window up and down?

I’ve had problems getting my head gasket to seal correctly. Using the factory recommended bolts, I discovered that even though my torque wrench clicked at 58 foot pounds it was not correct. It was less.

I’ve gone through 2 Felpro gaskets without getting a good seal. Factory gaskets are NLA.

LC engineering seems to have several they’re marketing as “factory gaskets”.
Has anyone used these? This is a bone stock replacement. Only want to pull this engine apart one more time.
