<VV> 3.6L Corvair Springs to Life

[Western Canada CORSA]

Roger,

The oil cooling jets for the pistons are very interesting (the whole buildup
is interesting, great site!)  I'm wondering what kind of results you expect
to see from them?

Regards,
Joel

Well, after 3 years in the design/build phase, my 3.6L Corvair engine fired
right off this afternoon. The valve train is still noisy - I'm terrible at
valve adjustment (at any temperature) and I'm not sure the lifters are
pumped up yet.  A good project for tomorow.  Once I get it quieted down and
the real exhaust system on it, I can actually drive it.  Yes, I am excited!

Please take the time to look at the website below.  I think it was as hard
to build as the engine.  ;-) http://rbgault.com/Corvair_36L/

Cheers,
  Roger
