[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 Was there a & symbol on the crank nose, next to the flywheel flange?

What are the crankshaft numbers and the engine numbers please?
Timothy Shortle in Durango Colorado

The engine number is T0625RH and the crank is marked 8409.  According to the 
Junkyard Primer this is a long stroke crank.

I haven't gotten down to the bearings yet, but there were no loose bolts on the 
converter, no abnormal looking wear on the parts, and no unusual vibrations in 
the car before this happened.  I am not very experienced with Corvair engines 
though and I may be missing something.

Good question about that last bearing - if the engine has been rebuilt and the 
wrong one placed there then it could be the cause.  Will check that next.

Thanks for the questions and input.
