<VV> Lifters

[J R Read_HML]

Sounds a little quick for the lifters to leak down, but I'd not be overly 
concerned.  Someone had (you?)had mentioned this 2 or 3 weeks back, I just 
wonder if the floor is level or is one side of the car higher than the 
other?  I think that could possibly account for a quicker than normal leak 
down on one side of the engine.  The lifters installed are appropriate to 
Corvair?
Later, JR
