YOUR REPAIR MANUAL FOR 1997 LS400

PART# 00245-RM514U $128.68

Tell me I can get it cheaper! :o

Also, the guy thats gonna help me change the timing belt mentioned he needed to know "torque specs". Is this an issue?

[silvermate]

you can find them on ebay for about 99 dollars or so...but thats about as cheap as i've seen em.

you can also get the cd rom kind for a lot less, ebay as well

alldata.com has em to download, but you have to sign up and pay as a member, i think its only a one time fee though

don't know about the torque specs, i'll look around and post later

My 99LS manual cost me about $95 (this is for Vol 2, engine, tranny, etc..)

The fact that your friend wants to know the torque specs is a very good sign to me - sounds like he knows what to do and wants to be thorough.

This is a full day task. new water pump, t belt tensioner, l/r ignition rotors, etc - lots of things to check and replace while you've got it apart.

You will need those specs..IMO

It is worth every penny if you do your own repairs.

I got mine on ebay for $175-shipped. That is both books that were brand new at the time. Follow ebay for a while, some should show up at a reasonable price.

I ended up ordering one on CD for $25.
