[NoVa-Corvairs] Follow-Up from Today's Meeting

[Curtis L Shimp]

Mike:

It was a pleasure working on your car as you had everything so well
prepared.  Also I enjoy meeting your father.

When I got home I did sit down with Clark's catalog and yes you have the
right part numbers although you were going to get a set (32) viton "O"
rings, part no. C4314, for your push rod tubes.

Regarding the fan belt you just need a good wrapped belt like Clark's
Ultimate.  For the engine you have and the type of driving you will
likely be doing you don't need to get too fancy.

Regarding the Bell housing Crank Seal I don't think that it makes that
much difference.  Per the comments that Bryan made, the polyacrylate seal
will probably give you the tightest seal but the Viton will provide
better resistance to hardening due to high temperatures.  I have used
both and I could not tell you with which one I was the most satisfied.
