<VV> Reverse Rotation Cooling

 Be careful, Bob, there's a couple of guys here who insist on adding water to an air cooled engine! LOL

Joe,

I think I'll make up a bumper sticker using your text for my Corvairs.

 tend to agree with Lon. I've driven throughout the west and southwest for 
ears without any overheating issues. I've always made sure that my oil was 
resh if I was making long trips and the fan belt was properly tensioned. I've 
ever really worried about the lower shrouds and the only time I removed the 
ower shrouds was when I tried a set of headers. Mind you, this was a non turbo 
ngine. The turbo, under constant acceleration can stress an engine - think I-10 
rom LA to Palm Springs or I-70 west from Denver - long stretches of uphill 
riving at 70 to 80 mph. I can do this in a normally aspirated engine without 
ny issues. Even in a stock turbo the engine temperatures will really climb. The 
nly turbo setup that I have had any experience with that did not try to 
verheat was Steve Goodman's. I don't know how he does it.
The long and short of it is that I would go anywhere, any time in my 62 sedan 
nd not be concerned. And remember, we have a significan advantage over the 
ater pumpers: If we do overheat, we pull over, raise the engine cover and when 
he engine cools down, we go on our merry way. We don't need no stinkin' water.

YIKES Stricky! I never knew that was in there - Well...........I have to 
y I don't agree. I think that a properly maintained Corvair engine 
ll handle "desert" conditions better than a water cooled.

even the Technical Editor writes, "Under hot desert conditions, all
Corvair engines lack adequate cooling in stock form."  Says so, right
there in the Corvair bible written by the bible's editor,
