<VV> ATF and Sticking Blocker Rings

[John Beck]

That's why I suggested a call to the guys at Redline.  They have a deep 
understanding of all that stuff and they know how to design appropriate 
lubricants.  They may or may not have anyone there right now who knows 
Corvairs but it's a very good bet that if someone described an 
application and a problem, they might have an appropriate product.  That 
has been my experience with them a few times.  I have no financial 
interest in their company.  --J.B.
