<VV> Finned valve covers

[Stephen Upham]

      Well, I just want to say thanks to Rusty Rose (North Texas CORSA 
Association member, which will be my club when I'm up and running), 
Jeff Angelli, Larry Forman (who provided me with an extensive list of 
cooling mods ), Bill Elliot, and Sethracer for their friendly advice 
and helpful suggestions.
      I've decided to skip the valve covers.  Seal problems to no seal 
problems ran 3-1, and no one was sure about the cooling effect of 
installing them.  In addition, all surmised the cooling to be achieved 
was probably negligible.   I will probably go ahead and replace the oil 
pan with a deeper, cooler running design with the lowered pickup tube, 
add the 12 plate oil cooler and A/C side plates (as it has factory 
air), and use synthetic oil.
      The vv has proven to be the best place to go to get the advise to 
keep our cars running well and preserving an important era of 
automotive history.
