Repair Manual. Tradebit or ChiltonDIY?
Ok I have searched and searched. I can't find out anything diffenitive on either of these manuals. I am looking for a repair manual and if it's online and I can print pages that will work.
Tradebit -or- Chilton both cost money. The tradebit is just 7.99 one time, but looks like it could be fishy. The Chilton is $24.95 for 1 year of access.
Anyone have any experiences here?

EBAY! or you could always ask someone about questions I have the ENTIRE shop manual repair and service set for the 98 GS300 and half the set for the 91 LS400 from lexus. They are definitely worth the money if you are mechanically inclined and wanting to do more of the bigger repairs yourself.

I am not looking to spend that much money. All I am really interested in doing at this point is replacing the valve cover gaskets. They are leaking and I hate oil leaks. At some point I plan on doing the timing belt and water pump, and I'm sure there will be other items down the line. But honestly I did the spark plugs yesterday and I think after doing that, the head cover gaskets won't be much worse. The thing I like is how manuals tell you what hoses are and sometimes give you sizes of bolts and nuts.

Personally i use ALLDATAdiy i think my subscription was 22.95 or 24.95 for a year, its not completely as thorough as a factory manual but it still pretty useful, you get torque specs for bolts but no size references. Some of its Service & Repair info is rather...brief, but i want a factory manual anyway lol
