needpart Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago tikiwagon Hi how do i know if if the plastic vacuum diaphrams are working properly on my 64 110,I pushed the metal plunger in and put my finger over the hole and one stay in place and one just pulls back(strangely the really old one with a small hole in it seems to stay in place) Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago tikiwagon Are these the same as the ones used on aircooled car though and will they work accurately with a stewart warner green line gauge Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago tikiwagon What is the best type of gasket for an aftermarket offenhauser ally valve covers,cork or rubber(ihave a new set of rubber ones here) Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago tikiwagon still looking for a sender if anybody has one,Stewart warner (has 31111 on my old one) Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago tikiwagon In rebuilding my carbs on my 64 the manual says 1 13/64"float level and clarks says 1 1/8" which is right (i think i did them to clarks before but not sure)both agree on the float drop however! Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago tikiwagon Thanks for the info guys,looks like i will have to put them on!,Can it be done with a airline attachment to hold the valves in place or is a stripdown the only way to go?( all my valve guides are the original apart from 1 which replaced as it was badly worn) Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago tikiwagon 16. valve stem seals Hi I have almost finished putting my 64 110 engine together and need to know if i should have valve stem seals on it as all the heads are back on i just saw these in the clarks catalogue and it means stripping it all down again for this(very frustrating!)The workshop manual makes no mention of them so i did it to that,I will do so if they should be in there,(it took ages to get the valves shimmed Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago tikiwagon I have recently bought a rebuilt housing and pump from a member on here and it will definately run a gauge,I just wasnt sure to go with a deep pan or stick with the safe stock(looks kinda crappy compared to a nice finned one though!) Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago tikiwagon I have a dilemna in that i bought an offy deep oil pan a while ago for my 64 but not long after installing it the engine "blew up"I think it was oil starvation,So im thinking of going back to the stock pan and pickup(the new pan had an otto deep pickup from clarks for which i had to grind a relief in the pan for clearance,I just measured it and the pan has a depth of 1 1/4" from th Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago tikiwagon Thats good,Do i need to put some thread sealer/silicone or just some copper anti seize on them? Forum: Corvair Center Forum 11 years ago tikiwagon I am just going to put my bell housing back on my 64 4 speed and want to know what length of bolts and washers i use,I believe the bottom 2 dont have washers due to flywheel clearance?I want to get this right and have to take it all apart later
Thanks Forum: Corvair Center Forum 12 years ago tikiwagon Im still looking for one of these if anyone knows of one,Tried ebay but no luck recently Forum: Corvair Center Forum 12 years ago tikiwagon Thanks,Clarks list shims in .60" and .30" any ideas of what and how many i will need?
Thanks Forum: Corvair Center Forum 12 years ago tikiwagon Hi I need a pair of needle and seats for my 64 and i notice that clarks do some all metal fuel inlet valves,Are they any better or just a waste of money and best to stick with original type ones
Thanks Forum: Corvair Center Forum 12 years ago tikiwagon what is the installed height spec for a 64 110 and do i measures with the original factory shims in place and right into them not the top of the casting? Forum: Corvair Center Forum 12 years ago tikiwagon All the springs are brand new from clarks,so do i still need to check even though the seats have just been ground? Forum: Corvair Center Forum 12 years ago tikiwagon Whats the best way to check/measure the valve spring height and how accurate do they need to be as i have had the valve seats ground and got new springs and the stock shims in at the moment,Its only a street car but it should still be i guess? Forum: Corvair Center Forum 12 years ago tikiwagon Im going to but because of time difference i cant call till tonight(im in England and off work this afternoon hoping to get this job done!) Forum: Corvair Center Forum 12 years ago tikiwagon Hi I am just about to put my new head and base gaskets on the engine (which i got from clarks)But it is not obvious what side faces what,The base ones have a dimple all round in the middle,Does this face the block or the barell so i need to know what way round they go
thanksl and the head ones are also raised on one edge Forum: Corvair Center Forum 12 years ago tikiwagon Whats best:-ally finned/deep sump or stock?After reading the how to hotrodyour corvair book and other posts a lot of people dont reckon its worth having as i have one to put on but the deep oil pickup doesnt clear the fins (which i can grind away) so is the stock one better after all apart from the extra oil capacity.Its only a street driven car Forum: Corvair Center Forum |
