[FC] STarting out for Portland on Saturday....

Merv, just do a cold adjustment once. Any residual clacking will go away.
You've just learned why not to do a running adjustment.<G>
Are you sure it's gear oil? You may have installed the snout with no sealer.
It's not a bad idea to put a little sealer on the outside of the shaft seal
when you put it in, and a little grease on the lips. Did you do those? Also,
make sure you've got the '64 seal, 60-63 are smaller and would burn out on
the bigger shaft.
The snout was cracked? I'd be asking myself WHY would a 20,000mi. engine
have been removed before, especially without removing the drivetrain with
it? That's how snouts get cracked.
I saw the car before you bought it and there's no doubt it is a 20,000mi.
car. The engine looked original too, 95hp if I remember correctly.

yea, Vairily ... Shaun

HI folks.... countdown....

The 64 sedan ainta gonna make it either.... after another engine running
readjustment of the valves, #4 still doesn't contribute much although the
exhaust valve was turned down almost three turns too tight....funny cause
the first running adjustment is when I had to turn it in about three turns
to make it stop clacking.... methinks trouble lays ahead....

The oil dripping out appears to be from the transaxle... the snout was
replaced with a new seal and all..... not sure why this is happening....

So it's the Silverado instead.... oh well, it will still be lots o fun being
immersed in Corvair stew for a week... see ya all soon!

toodles
