Whats the best manual i can get for things like replacing piston rings?? gregorys or Ellerys or other manuals??

gregorys havent failed me yet... but ive never replaced piston rings either....

Hmmmm... I've got them all for my EF (Gregorys, Haynes, Ellery and genuine Ford). I must say I was disapointed with the genuine Ford one, the content is good, but I think the layout is quiet right and sometimes jumps a bit (I've got the early edition genuine Ford manual from when the EF's were released - the later edition includes EF and EL's and might be betteR?).
As for which is better for working on the bottom end, wouldn't have a clue as I've never looked it up in either, if I get a chance I'll have a squiz later.

with genuine ford, ef el version, not to flash good content but as said jumps around the place, and does things like do process 4 before proceding does not say which page so your sitting there looking for process 4. no real pics and can be vague at times.

decent if you have a good automotive vocabulary.

pricey thought at $200, three volume set.

try and get yourself performance buildups vol.15 no.1 brendon mock goes through a complete 4lt rebuild with pics.
