All component parts have been overhauled or replaced with new new ones, and it's time to slap it back together. Cleaning up the case/sump/acces. cover bolts leaves me with a collection that probably doesn't have an AN bolt in the lot! All are standard nut with star washers. I'm reasonably sure that some of these bolts came from the Aviation department at Home Depot! Not being sure if this is OK (I'm going to replace with new AN as soon as I can figure out what I really need), I've decided to break down and get a parts manual. Yeah, I know it's experimental and I can do what I want, but what I really want is to build it up the way a reputable overhaul shop would. I keep seeing a 1980 version parts manual, 1985 version, etc., etc., etc., and just don't have any idea of which would apply, or what the difference is. HELP! Is the earliest the right one, the latest, or ??? HELP!

I bought one recently for an O-235 - O-290 thinking that my O-235-c2c would be covered. Turned out it only covered up to O-235-c1. Now can't be sure if the part numbers are correct. Vendor had all kinds of manuals but not the one I needed. Subtle things like bolt sizes are the difference between series. It was a photocopy too, not original, but legible. He left that part out too. Make sure the alleged manual covers your particular engine model. Just some friendly advice. J.
