URGENT HELP - MR2 workshop manual

[KITT]

Guys, I need a workshop manual for a Mk2 MR2, specifically for the engine (SW20, 16v 157bhp one) as my brother's has a problem (see engine forum here). He used to have one in pdf form on a CD but he's lost it

If anyone's got one could they let me know

cheers

If your quest is successful, could I pinch a copy too please?

You want to speak to a guy called Michael Canny on the www.imoc.co.uk site, I bought my copy from him a couple of years back only costs about 2 quid, think his username on there now is just Michael.

I used to have one for both the MKI & MKII, but have lost the MKII version. If Mr Canny does not want to help, check ebay - there are always quite a few up there

Thanks chaps, from various forums I've been reading it's sounding like a big end failure so will have to get one to swap engines or rebuild it. eBay looks easy enough, and I think my brother has an account so will get him to buy one.

However, I need to get a spark plug socket for it, as all mine are too big. Anyone know what size they are? I think they're 16mm, but I've also seen 14mm mentioned. They're too deep for me to measure.

I'm pretty sure it's 14mm.

Oh know another option!!

I've been told by 2 people it's 10mm, another 2 it's 16mm and now you're saying 14mm!!

Have I got the right engine code for it? It's a 1990 G-limited 2lt 16v.

Engine looks like this:

I would look at mine for you, but I won't be home again until Sunday...

By which time I expect you will have removed the engine, stripped it, solved the problem, rebuilt it and shoved it back in with some choice modifications to boot!

Sorry I can't help, but enjoy the weekend

Just a bump to ask if anyone happens to know of a 3SGE engine going cheap, or know someone who does? Perhaps someone knows of a Celica or MR2 that are being broken for spares?

Take a look in the engine forum for pics as to why

Edit to add: a 16mm socket is correct for the spark plugs (although Halfords label it as 10mm as that's the thread size ). Also, an on-line version of the MR2-T manual can be found here:
