Can anyone advise as to a fair price for a 1965 Corvair engine. I havelocated one that has not run for at least two years and is still in thecar. What should I look for in a Corvair engine. Thanks in advance and may you be blessed with a tailwind.________________________________________________________________________________

Okay, here's my two cents on what I did over the weekend. Joined the "knuckle buster" club by de-flashing and cleaning up my Corvair's heads in preparation to a valve job. The head castings are quite rough on the Corvair engine and a few of the fins were bent on mine, so I took drill, files, Dremel, and anything else I had that was abrasive and sat down with some music and a couple of hours and cleaned 'em up. Still need to chase all the threads on tapped holes and studs, and finish the last of the minor degreasing and cleanup, then it's off to the machine shop for a valve job.The air passages between the fins are amazingly rough as they come from the factory, and cleaning things up makes the heads much more appealing. Of course, a guy can take it to extremes... as Pat Panzera has done on his showpiece Corvair (the "poster child" engine at http://www.angelfire.com/ca4/CorvAIRCRA ... d_145.html). Pat likes to be able to see his reflection in everything he looks at under the cowling ;o)PS- I've had a set of the "Bullet Bits" that Chris refers to, for at least 10 years. They are great; they are much less prone to skipping and walking, and do a nice job.PPS- I'm on the digest of this list, and far prefer it to continuous posts.

Here is a reply from William Wynn concerning existing Corvair powered a/c:"The high number that comes to mind is Tom Browns Pietenpol, finished in1980 that has been flying since without any engine disassembly. It has about1,450 hours. Part of what is impressive about this is the fact it predatesARP rod bolts, stainless valves, 5th bearings, nitrided cranks and it mayvery well have cast pistons.The engines output in traditional Bernard Pietenpol form has a power outputof 70HP or so. Tom told me that he did not change the points in thedistributor for the first 19 years, (although he did clean them up from timeto time)Engine built to our current stands are not only more powerful, but theyshould last at least as long even at higher output per cubic inch. Thisengine was assembled with care and operated intelligently. The timing wasset with a light; it was never allowed to detonate; it has an appropriateprop that doesn't lug the engine. His conversion is a clone of the oneBernard pioneered and debugged. He was not experimenting with new andunknown ideas. All food for thought.."1450 hours is pretty darn close to 1500. Be prepared to ".consider them asomewhat adequate aircraft engine.".BTW.Jack, this year at Brodhead, you really should ask WW for some cool aid.It's good stuff!Gary-----Original Message-----

Depends on how many are eating the stew, or drinking the Kool-Aid.For myself, if making a stew to serve 4 people, I've always figured on about4 or 5 squirrels per person. Of course, you can substitute chicken but thatdefeats the purpose of Squirrel Stew, which is to give you a reason to getrid of squirrels.Jack PhillipsNX899JP "Icarus Plummet"Raleigh, NC _____

Lest anyone think that all I do is defend the Corvair Movement from theKracken=85A couple weeks ago I was visiting Chris Tracy and noticed that he had used ahalf-round bit to rabbit out the back side of his leading edges.

Lest anyone think that all I do is defend the Corvair Movement from theKracken=85A couple weeks ago I was visiting Chris Tracy and noticed that he had used ahalf-round bit to rabbit out the back side of his leading edges. He madematching male pieces which he located on the front of the ribs, perfectlylocating the leading edges, providing extra glue surface, lightening thepiece of wood (Poplar!!), and generally impressing the heck out of me. Atthe time, I thought that was way too much unnecessary work, but my leadingedges went together nicely and I landed on an easy method to do somethingsimilar=85Mine have a square rabbit, 3/8=94 x =BD=94, that has a corresponding locator gluedto the ribs. I don=92t know how Chris located his pieces, but mine are donewith one long piece, epoxied to all the ribs at once, then cut out one byone with a back saw (that=92s what I have been doing today, in between counterattacks on the Kracken). Oh=85did I say=85my leading edges are Poplar, too=85Gary BootheGo Corvair________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2011 13:55:59 -0700

Nicely done, Gary! I like how it positively locates the leading edge material,and looks like it's fairly easy to do.--------Billy McCaskillUrbana, ILtail section almost done, starting on ribs soonRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
