The best thing you can do is point him here and have him browse this forum for a day of two. He may get freaked out a little because so much of the discussion is about problems with the 6.o but he will gather a ton of knowledge about good maintenance practices and helpful mods to increase engine reliability. Send him here!
Of course, you could browse the forms for a couple days and translate for him
