<VV> opening a can of corvair worms

[Pitts10ch@aol.com]

Hi guys!
 
Hope all of you are well.  I hope to see some of you at CT Corsa's  meet at 
Marcus Dairy this coming Sunday (15th).  As for me, I was zipping  down route 
84 today in my 66 Corsa when I noticed substantial blue/grey smoke  from the 
back end of the car (in the mirror).  I was going 65 or so in  keeping with 
traffic.  The Cylinder head temp was about 380 or so.  I  let off the gas and the 
smoke stopped.  I pulled off on the next exit and  checked her all out.  No 
oil pouring out anywhere.  I brought her home  and checked all fluids and they 
showed full.  She never smoked again the  rest of the day.  Any ideas?  Thanks 
as always guys!

Side question:
Do those of you who run on the highway take off your lower baffles off to  
run cooler?  I know that 400 degrees CHT is normal for an  aircooled aircraft 
engine but is that also normal for a vair?
