Mike,  Congratulations!  Welcome!  You are now a bonafide Corvair owner.  We 
all feel your pain.  You are now at the "Flipped Belt" hierarchy level in 
Corvairdom.  Unlike most of the rest of us you are BLAMELESS for this problem.  
You will reach the next level--the Push Rod Tube 'O' "Ring"--when you make a 
mistake and break it yourself.  Your club members and the rest of us will be 
there for you.  Personally I've had fewer problems with my Corvairs than friends 
who drive and collect other old cars ('60's Buicks, Model "T's"etc.--and then 
there is Bill Elliott with his Tatra).  Remember Thomas in Germany, Alan in the 
UK and the guys in Holland and Switzerland.  They can't call someone to 
borrow a part or manual.

Let us know how it goes.  And remember the mantra--anything you fix yourself 
is one less thing to break (immediately that is).
