Default Rebuild


Hi i'm I have been learning about cars for just over a couple of
years now. My dad has finally gave in to letting me rebuild his
car engine (since he is getting a new one). The car is a 1992 Saturn
SL2. I was wondering if anybody would be able to give me some pointers
and where to find a good manual.

Thanks, Sam

Are you planning to actually rebuild it, or just take it apart and regasket it?

A complete rebuild requires the services of a machine shop, and some coin.

In any case, the Haynes or Chiltons manuals cover most of the basics. If you're getting right into it, then try to track down an actual Saturn shop manual. They're probably available at a shop that supplies mechanics, and are about 4 to 5 time bigger than the regular manual.

I have heard that the actual manuals (the ones the mechanics at saturn use) are very detailed and don't really cover the basics.

Yes, they are very detailed, and cover everything, including the basics...
