Which engine manual to buy for 3.0 engine rebuild

[jthor3277]

Hello all -
I am rebuilding a GM 3.0 engine and I was wondering which engine manual would be best to aquire. There is the Mercruiser service manual #26, the Seloc and the Clymers. Thanks for looking at my post.

I would recommend the OEM manual. The Mercruiser manual can be downloaded here -> http://www.4shared.com/document/Q2Xx_0in/Mercruiser_Service_Manual_26_G.htm

The Mercruiser manual is the one you want, Seloc and Clymers are just aftermarket manuals that condenses and leaves out a bunch of information taken from the Merc manuals.

Here's a link to download the Merc manual for free.

I am rebuilding an 86 or 87 3.7 liter mercruiser. Is the manual 08 the correct one to use as the shop manual?

Thanks
