The trough method works fine for almost every engine with the filter between the magnetos. The D suffix engines don’t work quite as well, but can still be done without spilling.

I’ve heard that retirement is OK, one day I’ll give it a try. As for the hole punch method we do that on IO-550 engines, never tried it on a Lycoming.

Yes it’s like rebuilding 2 IO-360’s, except for the camshaft which was about $9K USD. The rest of the parts were normal.
