1987 Chevrolet Sprint Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1987 Chevrolet Sprint splits its engine coverage two ways across the same 61 cubic inches: a turbocharged SOHC inline-three and a naturally aspirated one, both 1.0L and both on gasoline. Two hatchback bodies, two-door and four-door, and four grades, Base, ER, Metro and Turbo, fill out the range. The forced-induction version brings its own boost, lubrication and cooling considerations, and the manual keeps those specifications separate from the naturally aspirated engine's rather than averaging the two into one column.

Known issues on the 1987 Sprint. What the manual offers is the ordinary work the car will eventually ask for: timing belt and valve service on the three-cylinder, turbocharger removal and inspection where one is fitted, fuel delivery testing, clutch and transaxle overhaul, front suspension and steering geometry, brake hydraulics, and the charging and starting circuits. Every procedure arrives with torque values, wear limits and wiring diagrams, so a repair can be checked against a number rather than a feel.
