Better than nothing!

Engine overhaul manual.
Note: It is a very large file.

I scanned in some pages from all my manuals but the current host doesn't seem to allow access to the root directories so I have to make a web page for every scanned section. And I have been seriously lazy about it.

As far as I can tell, Faxon and Bishko scan in the books and print them. They are old enough that the copyrights don't apply (I contacted the publisher myself and found out they don't seem to care if it is copied). Bishko and Faxon, back in the day when you could see who you were bidding against on eBay, would outbid almost everyone for every original manual (Bishko was the most prevalent). Scarcity makes their product more valuable. And NO ONE has the exclusive permission to reprint (as I said, I checked with the original publisher).

The list of manuals I own, as well as others that *should* be out there is on this page:
http://www.oeltd.net/doc/manual.htm
Manuals in BOLD are ones I own. The links are, as I noted above, broken so getting to what I have already scanned in isn't available yet. I have been very lax in assisting people in this group, and keeping my manual/web pages up to date.

FYI: I live with depression and chronic pain and I have not felt "well" in a while, that is my only excuse for not being more helpful here as I once was.
