Hank, I want to PROFOUNDLY thank you for adding new and interesting 
information to this profoundly old thread!

<snip> But I would like to deepen the controversy further. 
Obviously from the thread on spare engines, Chevy made a BUNCH of Corvair 
engines. Most of you know I lived about 1000 feet from the back of the Engine 
Complex growing up. Some of the guys who worked the Corvair line still live in my 
neighborhood, AND EVEN THEY disagree about how the valves were adjusted on 
the line. Remember that the engines were "hot tested" with Propane gas on the 
stand before they were shipped. They didn't have the exhaust logs on them at 
that time. I remember going through the annual public tour of the complex and 
seeing the testing. At that point there HAD to be oil in the motors or they would 
be running them dry---

Yet there are guys who say they were hot adjusted at the factory.  IFO can't 
see how, but I didn't work there then. 

At the end of the day, there are proponents of both methods, for various 
reasons.  Work with what fits best with you and I would believe you will sleep 
well at night.<unsnip>
