BSCC- Fw: Fwd: Corvair Questions!!

[Jon Keeter]

My brother in law is about the most knowledgeable vair guy I've ever known, has restored a dozen or so vairs, owns 4 or 5 i think now, including a couple yenkos and a rampside, can usually rebuild an engine in a couple days, and lives nearby this guy ( I grew up in Springfield, MO). His company is Automotive Archaeologists, www.autoarch.com, his name is Jeff Moore ( google his name and yenko), his phone number is on his website. He's mostly why I own two late models myself.

He also knows a trick about those valve seats, something with interference fits and using heat and cold to get them in, does it on all the vair race engines, I'm sure he can help.

Regards,

Jon Keeter
