<VV> RE: Some cars are cursed

Yeah, the '65 resembles this.

Perfectly good car (running engine, practically rust free, just needing 
some maintenance from being stored for six years) engine heads filled 
with water and what looked like dirt by my piss-ant brother which froze 
up the engine, rebuild #1 completed by a longtime Corvair owner that 
lost a bearing and chewed up the crank after two hours of operation,  
rebuild #2 has seen the lower head shrouds left off [my bad as I'm 
doing it mostly by myself as another well respected club member [ who 
wasn't present when I made that mistake] mentors (required taking it 
down to the rod tubes, fortunately not installed at that time), and now 
finding debris from the first meltdown in the oil on the pressure check 
after putting it back together (again, thankfully not installed) and 
having to tear it completely down again.  Christine??
