<VV> Removing Piston

[Jim V.]

Harry,

You understand the problem only to well.  I didn't want to have to remove
the turbo and top cover.  Just thought it was worth an ask, you never know
what some enterprising Corvair owner has thought up how to do.

Oh well, I guess I might as well bite the bullet and git er done.

Thanks to all that responded to my question.
