2L Pinto workshop manual

I have lost compression in two of my cylinders on my pinto. Desperately In need of a good manual to instruct on the rebuild of the motor. I cannot find any manuals unders $100. Just wondering if anyone knows of any links or cheapers alternatives? Something that covers step by step the rebuild of the engine. 
Cheers!

    Compression loss on only two cyls sounds like a head gasket or a cracked head if you really cooked it... to take the head off you need a 12mm spline drive tool for the head bolts and a 8mm spline tool for the can belt adjuster. Make sure engine is at tdc before removing to make easier...

    Just my 2.2c worth including GST....

    The valves aren't seating right either. You can hear it on the exhaust. I figured while I was there I might as well look over the whole engine to check everything. The previous owner said it was great up the 7k mark which worries me!

    This is the one I used when I was 18 and had no idea.
