I know this is a long shot but does anybody have the repair manual for a 1981 Ford Econovan 1.6 litre SOHC 8 valve?

Thought i had it all sorted but have absolutely no compression on any cylinders now that the heads back on.

Cheers Slydit...i had been going off 1500 ford laser book that i have got but wasnt sure how much i could trust it!
I have got compression now after re-adjusting the valves [havent done that for a millenia]!!
They were miles out as came back from the reconditioners & i never checked them initially....so hopefully it will fire up soon.
Pain of a job as you have to remove the drivers side engine mount,then lower the engine just to have clearance to take the rocker cover off

and remove the radiator to be able to turn the crankshaft pulley for timing.
