Cleaning and
Preparation
The corvair
engine case is an important piece of the total
engine package and it is crutial that it be prepped
properly for your installation. Cleaning and
inspecting is necessary for a well built
engine. I hope to be able to help you with
this. Most people can do this work themselves
but some may want some help so here is how I can
help you.
1. Cleaning. I have the case
boiled and washed in a vat to remove the majority
of dirt and grime. It is then cleaned by
hand (no sandblasting as this creates major
problems). All the bores are cleaned as
well. Pushrod tube holes are polished for
the o-rings.
2. Head studs. You
can have all head studs removed and replaced with
new or just have damaged studs
replaced. If an oversized stud is
needed I can install heli-coils and relace the
studs as well. All studs are then cleaned
and painted.
3. Final prep.
Case is cleaned a final time before painting if so
desired. This option can be customized
according to your needs. Case is then bagged
and shipped.
