Just curious:
I was just reading Rad Davis' FAQ on painting engine parts and it reminded me of something. Years ago when I did my first O-ring job, I used the recommendation in "How to keep you Corvair alive." I painted the section of pushrod tube that runs near the manifold with VHT paint. It's now 10 years later. My dad has the car, and there are no leaks.
However, I did not paint the tubes on my other car, which I've had for about 7 years with no leaks. Has anyone ever determined whether the method I described has any real effect on leaks, or is it just a myth? Maybe the Mythbusters should do a show just dedicated to the Corvair. lol
