<VV> forensics on my rampy engine.

[N2VZD at aol.com]

i learned a lot on this one. after @2000 miles of severe oil burning ( @1  qt 
in a hundred miles) , i took it apart and found lots of oil showing on all 6  
cylinders. rings were in positions so i blame it on the bore / hone job i got 
 locally to save  costs. it ran very good , but ate oil like gas. everything  
else looked ok. one head gasket showed leakage , probably due to hydraulicing 
 with all the oil in the cylinder. i know agree with the statements in the  
books...use only corvair shops for corvair work!  save the grief and  cash.
never again! what a mess!!
i am now building a complete new engine from scratch. i missed a LOT of  
corvair fun the last 2 years because of that mistake also. 
regards, back to work , tim colson
