I am going to be changing out my heads soon and I decided to buy a real (ie not haynes) book on small block chevys because I am going to be needing torque specs and such. Anyone know of a good book to get, or ones to stay away from. I am looking for something along the line of "How to rebuild your small block chevy."

After owning my 92 RS for 10 years,I finally choked up the $90 for the factory service manual.I don't know how I managed without it for so long!An incredible wealth of information.Things I'd wondered about for years were answered in the first few minutes of flipping through it!
If you plan on keeping your third gen,It's definetely worth the money.I Put it off for a long time because of the cost,but it would have saved me a lot of time and suffering if I'd had it all along.
Between the factory manual and this website, I don't think there's any job on my car, I can't handle.Do yourself a favor and get one.
Ordered mine from Helms.
How to rebuild small block Chevy from HP books is pretty good, as far as a step-by-step rebuild book,from HP Books,#HP1029,about $14.
Hope This Helps.
