I know it's kind of difficult to answer this if you don't know the
condition of the car, but could anyone offer an opinion (on or off
list) - about what you would do on a low mileage engine (turbo) if you
know that the O Rings are shot, but everything else is good (well, at
least appears to be). This car is basically a Sunday cruiser - kids in
the back, not for show (yet ;). What I'm curious about is: Should I
redo all of the seals at the same time (since, I'm assuming at 41,000
miles), they've never been done? Anything else that I can't think of
now, but might crop up? Is it also possible to keep this from running
over $1000 (with labor from a good Corvair mechanic)? I know that
this is kind of a blanket "it depends" type question, but I'd
appreciate any advise I could get (good and bad). I like getting an
idea of what I'm in for before I take it into the mechanic.
Thanks again,
Lou
