Get the latest manual. I paid the exorbitant price from the manufacturer
just to be sure I got the right one. You can also subscribe to an update
service if you want to.
The O-360-A1D is the exact engine I have in my Mooney M20C. It is still
fully supported at the factory and an any supplier or overhauler out there.
BTW, those nuts and bolts are probably OK. I don't know exactly what you
have there, but most of the studs, nuts and bolts on the engine are coarse
thread. Nuts are not self locking and star washers are what's called out in
the manual. Those washers work well, but should never be re-used. If it is
a critical fastener (what isn't on the engine?) then one time tight and
that's it! That is not really a practical approach for timing a magneto,
but that IS the design. There isn't a plane on the planet that complies
with both the specified hardware and the washer re-use criteria on a
magneto, including mine.

OK, I'm rebuilding O-360-A1D, standard flange, circa 1963 vintage for use in
a RV-4. 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!
Thanks,
Dave

By a manual from the manufacturer and it looks like a photocopy too...
pretty shabby for $100!

Beware of manuals you see on ebay. 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.
