In need of repair manual please

[MiniMe257]

I need to do the head gasket on my 1993 Camry V6 and while I know more or less how to do the work, I would of course prefer to have the service manual handy but my dealers around me say they have to order my year and I really don't feel like waiting. I've read the Haynes manuals and I'm not to impressed with their manual (for this job anyways).

I searched the threads and found a few links to service manuals but unfortunately they are broken links. Can anyone please point me in a new direction to find it or can email it to me. My car has been sitting for a while and it's time I dusted it off and put it back on the road.

Also, if someone wants a Haynes manual but doesn't want to buy it, I would recommend checking your local library...those places are still around

Btw, it's a 3VZFE.

Thanks!!

Sorry, but the Forum Rules do not allow the posting of links to free copies of the FSM as this is a copyright issue. Anyone with download suggestions please take it to PM.

Here's an example of the FSM being sold on Ebay. Given how much money you put into your car over the course of its life the FSM at around $80 is a reasonable expense IMHO.

and for the free fsm floating around online you will need to get the lexus fsm for the engine and the toyota one for the body

I will also warn that the last time I attempted to download a Camry online manual for link reference in a post it contained a Trojan worm that Microsoft could not fix, and ultimately I had to wipe my hard disc clean and rebuild it from scratch. Why can't you afford a Haynes manual?

Log on to the TIS website and buy a 2 day subscription for $15.00 USD. You can print out instructions after finding your make, model, year and engine size. Right-click on the page you are on and you can print it out. Can't do a "save as" cause it blacks out the picture and words.

Print Screen function and paste it in paint

Hit up your local library. They might have an All Data subscription. Then just print it off.

However, im sure you can find the FSM online as suggested. I think the only real thing you'll need to use is the torque specs and diagram. Everything else is pretty straight forward.

If you have Picasa installed and running...you don't have to paste it in paint. It will automatically capture it...
