what i mean is it would be nice to not have to weed through a junk load of service bulletins just to get to the ones you want to look at. i think it would be nice if there was a package for just motor, or just transmission or etc...

like this is the document you look at if you are going to rebuild your motor and these are the thing you should do while you have the motor out etc.....so you don't miss something that is buried in the service bulletins. i have printed out most everything from this site and have them in two HUGE binders in the garage.

maybe i should just put together my own packet....but i don't know what i am doing or if i am missing something since i have never rebuilt the motor or have any knowledge of what improvements apply or updates, etc....

does this makes sense....i know the website is a one stop location for this material, but one could save ALOT of time if it was categorized or something. the newer generation needs to have access to this knowledge in the mind. the internet is great and that is what the newer generation uses, so we need to take that information and put it into a usable format. some people would love to spend hours looking through service logs, but some would rather the people that have experience put the information in a more time friendly, usable format.....as in.....when i want to rebuild my motor...i would look in the document that says this is what you need to do when you want to rebuild your motor.....first....do this to the oil pump for better pressure....second do this to valves.....third.....here are the service bulletins for your motor....fourth do this blah blah blah and so on.....

one could even do this for the other parts of the car.....

what i am saying is i don't want to miss something on my car because it was buried in a service bulletin somewhere, only to find out about it after i have already done the work and put the motor back in the car that is now painted with a really expensive paint job.....

i would do it myself.....but i have very limited knowledge of this....but i do know how to do the computer stuff....if the knowledge was there i would do it myself in a heart beat.


i know Kevin has it sorted by year of car....but lets take it further and do year by car and subcategorize that by what you should do to the motor....what people have figured out that works better, like the HEI or the modded oil pump, etc....

sorry for rambling.......not trying to start any trouble.....

later,

Hank
