    haynes is the other common one. honestly i've never looked in the chilton's one. i have the haynes. for a beginning mechanic, it comes in handy. now though, i mostly just use it for torque specs too.

    Just buy the Honda shop manual. They are on ebay all the time and are alot better than haynes or chiltons. Definitely worth the extra money

    The Haynes are made by the author taking apart the car and putting it back together. They are not the best becuase they only cover taking apart/putting back. The Chiltons are the better, cheaper buy in my opinion, more like a real onwers manuel. This is from my experiance with fords, chevys, and nissans, usually you need both to cover eveything. I have never even looked at Hondas. I got the Factory manuel myself, before I found pauls online. It is well worth the price when looking for part names, torques, special tools, and spec's.
