As title says, I'm looking to do a semi-full rebuild on a c20xe, probably a late/dispack one. I've been looking at the green Haynes manuals from 1990 to 1998 calibras, would these have enough info in? Or are there better ones that may have more info or larger sections on the c20xe? Maybe if a certain car, mk2 astras or whatever, haynes manual might focus on that engine mroe than the other engine options for that car?

Just want one to give a hand when rebuilding.

Which one do you use or which one would you recommend?

Cheers, dave

workshop manual is what you want to try and get hold of, will be a lot more indepth than a haynes.

Also, i couldnt find any workshop manuals as opposed to haynes manuals, apart from one for a mk3 astra that specifically said C20xe on the front, lol, but it came in DVD format... bought it anyway to have a look.
