wow, I bought a chiltons about a week ago. If you guys think that chiltons is the better manual, then i'd hate to see haynes. I thought that the Chiltons sucked, but like I said I haven't looked at haynes yet.

I have haynes and its alright...although confusing to try and follow at times. Then again, I haven't seen chiltons, so I have nothing to really compare it to

Hayes manuals do not cover the ve motor.Only the vg and vq.
