I'm wondering what book i can get that will guide me in rebuilding all of my TPI engine, it would be my first time doing and it might be hard but eventually i have to learn how to rebuild an engine. I would like to take out the engine from the car, clean the engine bay, machine the block and all those stuff so if there is any book or books that would help me i would like to know. Also would like to find a tpi wiring harness book. By the way it's for a 350 tpi from an 88 camaro. Thanks.

 

CHILTONS books are acclaimed to be very good.

This one's been really helpful to me. It's mostly a step-by-step "remember to do this first" "tighten to 35" "this is how you find tdc" work book with tons of pictures. There's a version for twice as much with a dvd too. I found it at a normal bookstore so you don't really have to buy online.

I had to pull an engine with bad rings, swap the heads and everything onto a block with good rings (easier than the rering, and the seller included it with the car), figure out all the timing and valve stuff, and put it back in. It actually runs, and I owe most of it to this book.

 

thanks, that chevy rebuilding book from jegs looks very detailed about chevys, would it be available from like barnes & noble, about how long did it take you to rebuild your motor and are there any special tools i should get or that you would recommend to make it easier?

 

i used a book from one of my classes at school its a cartech i think. ill have to check when i get home tonight. Im pretty sure they have a website, the pictures are all color and very detailed description of rebuilds and explains what to look for to prevent certain failures.

 

i have the same book, it's really amazing and precise about everything

 

I would reccomend this book in combination with the above ^.

sparkytfl thanks for the info on the book i think im going to get it i just have to order it from barnes & nobles cause i couldnt find it in a store near me, i might also get the one that the zander recommended. thanks guys. i was also looking at a book called Chevy TPI Fuel Injection Swapper's Guide: How to Install and Modify GM Tuned Port Injection Systems, was wondering if anyone has any feedback on this book or any other tpis wireing and info book. Id rather prevent then lament so im gonna do my research before i start my build. Thanks.

 

haynes manual has wiring diagrams, i'm sure chilton does as well

 

I think barnes and noble was where I found the book, but it was one of the larger-than-usual two floor ones.

I didn't do a complete rebuild, and kept putting it off for months , so I can't comment on how long it'll take. I just started off taking tons of notes about where everything went as I pulled it off, got sick of how long that took, pulled the engine out, pulled the heads off and cleaned them, stuck them and all the other stuff onto another block, set the valve timing, put it into the car, then had to figure out where all the stuff went. It wasm ostly just figure it out as I go along, but there were some things that if the book hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought to do,

 

wiring diagrams are free at autozone.com
they do not have them all though.
haynes manuals are ok...but I hear chiltons are better.

 

Ok so i go to a Borders book store in Pico Rivera, CA, i was surprised it was in stock, so far im liking what i see and i might proceed to rebuilding my engine myself. Thanks. Now for something kinda dumb on page 67 the machine shop looks exactly like one called Taylor Engines in Whittier CA or am i just
