Bentley service manual for 964

Is there a Bentley service manual for the 964? I have been looking and haven't found one yet. I see 1995 to 1998 993 and Carrera 1984 to 1989 but not 1989 to 1994.

Fyi, Pel-pc94 is not a service manual for the 964. Especially in comparison to for example Bentley's service manual for the '84-'89. Also note Bentley has a rep for some details being close but not quite right. Use caution!

True, it isn't a one stop servicing book. IIRC it was issued after Adrian's book which may have had them aim for a different market niche, which also has errors as does the Original Porsche Workshop manual e.g. oil drain plug torque values.

OP: I have done a lot of DIY and am currently rebuilding my engine. I use a combination of Bentley, Adrian Streathers book, the Porsche Technician training course material and the Porsche Workshop Manual, plus I research topics on the forums. Each of them have their strengths and weaknesses, but none of them are a one stop shop.

Thanks for the input, I have a copy of the Bentley 964 Technical Data book.
Just looking for a little more depth without stepping up to the OEM workshop manual.
Sounds like the Adrian Streather book might be my next purchase.
