RW> TW> Particualrlt if workign on a Corvair engine. I had three of those. A   
   RW> TW> 1963 Van, A 1965 Corsa and later I put a corvair engine and automatic   
   RW> TW> transmission in a 1971 VW van.   
      
   RW>Was Ralph Nader right about those cars? IMNSHO, I thought he was full of   
   RW>crap...   
      
   He basiclly was. Not since a Rear Biased Car handles different then one   
   with the engine up front if you got Stupid you could get yourself in   
   deep Trouble. But mostly less then some of the other rear engine car of   
   that day.   
   And once you got the feel of driving thme on a short tight course they   
   could embarase many Corvette and Camaro drivers. OF course they left   
   you in the dust if there was much length to the straights.   
      
   RW> TW> I had a set of Valve covers cut in half for adjusting the valves on   
   RW> TW> those engines.   
      
   RW>Didn't they have rockers like the V8s, where you could buy a set of spring   
   RW>clips to cover the pushrod oil hole?   
      
   The valve cover solution was far less messy.
