[V8] cd shop manual

[7013885254]

Hey,
     Well I've looked into it a bit as well, and honestly it looks like a swap is much better than a rebuild.  You can get gasket sets, re-ring the engine, and use VR6 main and rod studs as well.   But honestly I'd look at an engine swap to an ABH  or ABZ 4.2.  Its been done and may cost more but your chance of success is many many times better.  Check  motorgeek as well as search here heavily.  

As always good luck

Subj: [V8] cd shop manual
I have an aftermarket V8 quattro shop manual on CD format.  In the engine
category, there is a note............."There is no repair work to be
performed in Repair Group 13, Crankshaft Group"

Because the CD I have appears to have been copied from a factory paper shop
manual, I assume the same note is in the paper manual for group 13?    If
this is the case, did Audi assume the V8 engine would NEVER need any repair
work inside the block?  Doesn't make sense to me!

Are there other sources that have info that would be in group 13?    At this
early stage of trying to decide what to do, I am mostly looking for engine
rebuild specs such as crankshaft main and rod bearing journal diameters and
piston and ring specs.  Maybe I should ask another question, are bearings
and rings/pistons even available for the engine?

I picked up a 1990 V8 quattro a couple years ago, and it was pushed to the
back burner because of too many other projects

thanks!
