It doesn't leak, it's marking it's territory.

So I ruled out valvetrain as the source of my knocking. Since the noise has gotten progressively worse it has become easier to diagnose. I can now isolate it to cylinder #6. I had tried this same test about a month ago and there was no change but now it shows up clearly. I am thinking piston skirt slap or a wrist pin issue. Time to take the engine back out!

Took the engine out and removed #6. I think I found the source of my knocking noise:

Yes it sucks but I'm relieved to have found it. I can fix it and it'll be fine.

It was probably on the tighter end of the clearance (I am assuming) and also I know for sure I was "testing" my turbo boost more than I should have with only 250 miles on the engine.

Went on a 30+ mile drive last night. Got all the lifters pumped up now and it runs and sounds like a dream.

Got away from work today and drove the Corvair up to Rocky Mountain National Park with my wife. First relatively long drive in the car, she ran beautifully. Returned home to find the underside bone dry and other than a noisy speedo cable all was perfect!
Here's some photos:

It was a perfect Fall day for leaf-peeping. Good to learn that you've got the Spyder back and running so quickly. Nice job Nick.
