yeah i know. i got a friend at work (he is the one that got the books from japan for me) that can read a bit of japanese and his flat mates are japanese and they have offered to translate it for me
he has already translated the contents pages for me so now i know where to look for something but still dont know exactly what it says.
but like i said earlier there are heaps of pictures and tightening torques for every little thing (even clamps and stuff they tell you how to take them off and put them back on)
you can get the jist of it all but it would be alot better to know exactly what they are saying. ATM im not intending to rebuild the motor till nexzt year so for now i got a year to translate it. also im gonna ask my cousin if he could get it translated as he is in the navy and they should have translaters there.
also i was thinking of scanning it and getting it translated through the PC/online and take it from there. try and get some character recognition program on my PC with JAP language support
