I purchased this book to make repairs on my 1995 T-Bird 4.6l dohc V8. The book has a section dedicated to this engine But in many areas it is very Vague. This is a complicated engine and more detail needs to be illustrated on things such as valve timing, as well as component placing, and how to's.

Needless to say, I was very disappointed in my purchase.

great tool for the simple repairs and Maintenance of my thunder bird. will help me save money on simple do it yourself projects.

Manual was advertised at 2 cents. Needed one so I thought I'd give it a try. Never expected it to come all the way from England. 4 bucks shipping. Didn't see the manual for 3 weeks and figured It would either be a ripped up old rag or never come at all. It came, still wrapped brand new and cost me 4 dollars and 2 cents.

Meaning it has out of date information. Needs to be used with the factory CD for best results.

The manual spends too much time on the rare need for a complete engine overhaul and then spends too little attention to things that the typical owner needs to do. Not unique to Haynes, just a common problem. Sadly, did not really get to use the manual. I ordered it to deal with a problem, but delivery took so long I had to get one form another source so I could get the vehicle back on the road.

This manual has become a great asset for me and my lil' T-bird.
It has helped me fix most of the problems that I've had with it, and I have zero knowledge of cars. Yet, this manual has guided me to the problems and helped me fix them besides my lack of knowledge. One of the only problems with the manual is that it isnt as well written as I would have liked it to be. It was kind of hard to find certain things, but it was all really good.

If you have a t-bird, or any car, pick the haynes manuals up, right now!

I like to have all the information I can get in reference material on vehicles I am restoring.
