They both are useful. Wayne's book is really f=good for a lot of maintenance things and is an easier read.

True. But the only thing I`ve touched on my car so far was the engine, starting with a complete tear down followed by a complete reassembly from scratch. For this task, I could not find anything useful in the Bentley which I found a bit surprising for a service manual that costs $90. Of course, I should have read the contents beforehand. Wayne`s book at least touches a couple engine-related projects with good pictures that come useful when you tackle your engine.

That was the point of my first post.
The cost of the book for the info within is a rip off.
I would have sent it back but then I was stuck with shipping and restocking fees.
Yes it does have useful info in it but for the cost you would hope the would include a list of specifications.
Simple things like the RPM spec. at idle.
That's an important parameter to have when trying to diagnose running issues.
Like bad MAF -vs- minor vacuum leak.
Or idle air control valve issues -vs- MAF. issues.
No list of general engine specs.??????
Piss poor.
