Default Cheap downloadable engine manuals
Just wanted to share my experience with aero-stuff.com. I bought the direct drive manual and parts manual for my IO-540 for $27. It was delivered as a downloadable PDF file and the quality is great.

Also found this site which has some manuals for free downloadable (http://pj260.com/Lycoming/)

aerosport power also has some nice manuals ("Reference Library") for free on their website. they're about the best quality engine docs i have found online.
http://www.aerosportpower.com/referencelibrary.htm

still cannot believe how many aviation companies charge for their manuals (despite customers paying big $$$ for the products already)...
definitely a sign of "old economy".

in this day and age, having free access to install manuals and spec sheets should be standard.

I must admit, I love free stuff - when I saw this link last night, I couldn't believe what was there, and grabbed them all! Disk space is cheap, who knows when they might go away, and I'll need a manual for a TIO-360-QWURH#%CF .....

Thanks for the link.
