<VV> engine area noise

[Harry Yarnell]

Bingo, you're doing pretty good at diagnostics for a novice; it's the blower 
bearing. Now how long can you go before it gets worse? You'll get alot of 
opinions on this. I've had corvairs with the bearing 'moan' go on for years 
without any attention. You're mileage will vary...
