.....And I don't plan on it!  The engine is currently out of the car (even that project was much less intimidating to me then taking the engine out of just about any water pumper....) and the shrouds are all off.  I plan to replace the fan bearing now, and hopefully not have need to do it again till my next engine overhaul! Problem avoided..... ggg  

     By the way I followed the engine removal instructions in "keeping your corvair alive" to the letter which was the advice I got from you guys.... worked out great.  A couple of times I had to figure out what part on the car corresponded with technical terminology.... they assumed I knew just a touch more then i do... but really it was fantastic... Great book!!
