Also, if you want a better book get the 16Valve Bentley for the 900, the red one. The values and procedures for doing the head are the same with the exception of no distributor to remove and that the exhaust manifold and turbo look different. Same exhaust manifold gasket, torque values, and very similar plumbing on the turbo. Intake side also looks somewhat different but the pictures in the Bentley are so good you will understand the differences. Lastly, the valve cover, the head, the chain tensioner, all the the torque values... the same. The 1994 and up 9000 use a different head gasket than the 1993 and older (which is the same that the c900 uses) and the intake gasket is different for all of the 2.3 engines (which yours is) than the c900. but the torque values and the procedure to do it is the same... 16 bolts on the valve cover, 16 holes from the tooth on the intake sprocket alignment mark to the tooth on the exhaust sprocket alignment mark (count the ones at the sprockets and 14 empty between).
