<VV> answers to questions

[Dennis & Debbie Pleau]

Here's my take and I'm going to use adjusting valves as an example.  I 
pretty much use the Ken Hand method of cold adjustment, but I was using it 
well before Ken published it anywhere that I saw it.  Other I know and 
respect as premier Corvair engine mechanics use the method in the shop 
manual, and other people I regard as premier Corvair mechanics  swear the 
only way to adjust Corvair Valves is running and hot.  Whos' right?  ALL OF 
THEM!  All three  methods will give acceptable valve adjustments, which one 
do we publish as the official CORSA method adjusting valves?  Over the 
years, I've used all three and they have all worked satisfactory.
