Yep that was pointed out to me but I'm glad you linked the one you did as it is a bit more current. I was looking for something too specific it would appear. 1/4 lists 96-106 in-lbs (unless otherwise specified) which corresponds to what I have seen in other documents. I installed my vac pad alternator today and was able to torque three out the of the four nuts. No way in heck was it happening on the fourth. Had to resort to the German method on that one.

Just curious, did the cover plate have a gasket under it? I installed and flew my M1B (from Vans) and had this last oil leak that needed repair (100 hrs). I found my plate did not have a gasket. It was installed, torqued from the factory so I did not remove it. But NO gasket - - yours??

Yep it had a gasket but while searching I read somewhere else that they did not have a gasket, identical to your situation. I wonder why mine did but a couple others did not...

I can't find the Lycoming Direct Drive Overhaul Manual on Lycoming's site. I see a few places online that have old (very old in some cases) versions for free, and some places that are charging for copies of unknown date, but nothing at Lycoming.

I have to be missing something here. Does Lycoming call it something different now?

I just got sent one from someone who seems pretty dang knowledgeable, possibly used to work there? and it is dated 1974. If you PM me your email I'll send you two docs.

I was able to find one dated 1974 with updates as new as 2002, but nothing newer. Maybe that's as good as it gets? Here's what I found, consider it hosted at my site:
