If so, that would be great.  It would be a great learning opportunity for me and others who can come.  If not, I understand.  Thanks.

I hope that once I get the shrouds and compartment seal off, which I want to replace, I will be able to access the last bolt holding on the heater shroud on the back left corner of the compartment next to the head.  Cannot get a socket or wrench on it.  I am certainly learning a lot for sure.  Vernon was giving me some tips on the upper head bolts, but for now the thing that bugs me is wasting a fresh oil change.  He refused to tell me how he got the bolt out.  Obviously, a rite of passage into corvair manhood!  I think once I get the seal off, I'll have access.  For now, no spoilers please as Vernon has challenged my Corvairhood....  "Vern, Vern, Vern, Vern, Vern, Vern, Vern," typed in my best Jim Varney accent.

I have been restoring and collecting games for about 20 years and have been turning my collection over from solid state to the older electro-mechanicals.  Happy to get some pizza for lunch as well.
