<VV> fixing a noisy lifter / heater blower / fan bearings?

[TimogensTurbo at aol.com]

1   Noisy lifter
No need to drop rear of engine......determine which side of 
engine.....hopefully drivers side [ no muffler / heatshield].
Have a new Valve cover gasket ready!  If you understand how to adjust GM  
hydraulic  lifters..go for it.....otherwise you need a manual / book such as Bob 
Helts' Classic Corvair, etc.
If in a rush.....try wiggling all rockers......[engine off]  if one feels 
super loose compared to the rest....tighten 1/8 turn....turn engine over by hand 
1 revolution...repeat.....  ONE  rocker  ONLY at a time...  do this ONE time 
only!

2  Heater blower 
Located on pass. side behind rear wheel....pull wire off and jump with direct 
12 vdc  POSITIVE.....now you'll know if the motor is bad....5 little 1/4 head 
bolts holt it in...

3 Fan noise

Remove fanbelt...start engine.....is noise gone?.....spin  fan , alt. , idler 
 and see if one / all makes the noise....and if any revolve more than 2-3 
rotations after spinning [ dry bearing]
