***WARNING***

So I'm building my motor and this manual seems a little unorganized.. like as if a few pages were placed out of order. But that's ok, because I can just flip through the pages (i printed all 5009 pages) and get to the right page that I need. A little time consuming, but I can work with it.

BUT... As I was putting the timing chain cover back on, (32 bolts), I had a few difficulties deciphering which go where. It was partly my fault since I didn't organize all my bolts and nuts well enough to remember where they go. BUT in this service manual it was saying Bolt A is 20mm in length, Bolt B 25 mm, Bolt C 60mm, and Bolt D 50mm. We found this completely wrong!

I have the newest ALLDATA that includes service manuals for the twins and it should be Bolt A 20mm, Bolt B 50mm, Bolt C 25mm, and Bolt D 60mm.

It's not a HUGE deal because you can usually tell which bolts go where because of the depth.. but if something like this is wrong, it kind of concerns me as to what else could be incorrect, especially with torque values on certain things like the block and head.

Just a warning for anyone using this manual as a guide to rebuild your motor or anything like that.
