Mike,
Looks good...but if you get the o-rings (not a bad idea as it seems it
would be easier to stand the engine up and do it on the ground) you will
need valve cover gaskets as well as exhaust donuts (heads to exhaust
logs..six total). This also entails adjusting the valves after replacing
the seals, which adds another step. This is not difficult, but could be
stressful if you have not done it before. Best to get everything you
think you may need than stopping and starting because an inexpensive
gasket not being on-hand. Maybe skip the o-rings, get it running and see
if it leaks. For the amount of driving you will do, maybe a few drips in
the driveway are OK.
Actually, you will need exhaust gaskets from the logs to the tailpipe in
any case (two for this)...you already had the exhaust removed, so it did
not occur to me to add it to the list til now. Don't forget oil filter as
well.
Review all the other things you removed before we got there to see if
there are others that should be replaced.
Also, the gas tank. How long has it been sitting? Since you said it was
dry, it may be fine, but you may want to order the seal so you can check
it. Also cheap.

Subject: [NoVa-Corvairs] Follow-Up from Today's Meeting
I want to again thank everyone who helped out with my car today. Needless
to say, I'm pretty darn pleased with the turn of events.
I've spent some time on Clark's website looking for the parts that were
recommended to me. I was hoping somebody could confirm that I'm about to
order the right stuff since Clark's uses some slightly different names for
some items.
Here's a chart with the part name I wrote down, what Clark's calls it (if
I'm right), their part number, and their price.
What I wrote What Clark Calls it Clark's Part #
Clark's Price
Pilot Bushing Clutch Pilot Bushing C701 $9.10
Axle Stub Seals Drive Shaft Seals C496
$4.65/ea.
(in transaxle, 2 reqd)
Input Shaft Seal Throwout Bearing Shaft Seal C494 $3.95
(nose of transaxle)
Fan Belt Fan Belt C5790
(Clark's Ultimate) $10.90
C8704 (Otto Super Belt) $12.80
Oil Pan Gasket Cork Oil Pan Gasket C199 $5.95
"Best Quality"
Crankshaft Seal Bellhousing Crank Seal C493
(polyacrylate) $9.95
or
C493V (Viton) $13.90
*Clark's say I also need a new Bellhousing gasket if I'm replacing
the Crank Seal - Part # C4628 - $3.15
So, my questions are am I buying the right parts and which of the 2 kinds
of fan belts
and crank seals should I get. Also, can anyone think of anything I've
forgotten?
(For those who weren't able to make it today, the engine is out and its
separated from
the transaxle).
Thanks a lot for the input.
-Mike
