<VV> engine rebuilder

[corvairs]

Tony is  right - I have 4 "dead" vairs here in my own collection because 
I don't have the time or the energy to rebuild engines for them. Have 
been hoping to buy good used running engines (did buy one from a club 
member recently) but the truth is, this has been an increasing problem 
for the past 10 years or so. It is VERY difficult to buy a "good used 
running engine" and we get 5-10 requests for them every week..... Lon
