<VV> Question

[Harry Yarnell]

As said before, taking off the top casting (of the engine), you can remove
the rods and pistons. No need to remove the engine.

thanks to all repliers. I have taken the right head off (turbo engine still
in the car) the inlet valve seat of no. 5 is gone - better it is folded into
the intake channel. I have ordered new heads, pistons (with full seal rings)
and barrels in the US and expect them to come in every day.
Since I want to have my Vair back on the road soon I wanted to work ahead as
much as possible and was wondering if I can change the pistons without
removing the rods - but this is, thanks to all guys answering my confused
question ;-) not possible so I will take that engine out now and do the job
on my working bench. Space inside the car is too limited.

I will bet you know about my success or fiasco  - fist time working on a
Vair engine

Regards
Ulli the Ba-Vair-ian
