Just bought this car. Body and interior in great shape, all electricals work, leather seats, and 15 inch alloys! The PO didn't want to mess with the timing belt replacement. And I'm not sure that I do either, but for $300 couldn't resist it. I want to check and see what other damage was done to engine. I know it's an interference design, but it seems like I should be able to do some work myself, like remove head, and get it reworked, replace seals, etc.
I would like to know where a good workshop manual would be. Haynes goes to 1988 (no dohc) and the chilton I have covers every single car from 1970-1993 but none in any detail!!!

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get info on at least head removal and check?

Anyone have any manuals for this car they don't need anymore?
Anyone have a good spare B234f head laying around?
Thnks
jc
