1965 Taunus workshop manual

[Glen Vassallo]

Good morning all,
I have just started putting back together a Taunus V4 engine that my Dad had taken apart for a rebuild. All the machine work has been done. I'm stuck as to which way the pistons should face. They are new pistons and don't have any markings showing the proper direction. Does anybody have a workshop manual that they would be willing to sell? I found one but it was in German! Thanks

If you've an Android phone, install Google translate, German language, and hold it over the manual.

It will translate for you.

There is a Saabist on here somewhere that may be able to help. Other than that if they are a flat top piston they are either ok whichever way they are installed or if the pins are offset the short side is towards the thrust face on the bore.

Thanks guys. I have the Corsair manual and although many things seem to be the same there are some differences, so I would like to obtain the proper manual .
