<VV> 64 Engine in 65 Corsa

[D. Barry Ellison]

I piddled with the 64 engine tonight.  I think I found out why the guy 
traded with me so quickly.  (I let go of a non-running non-titled 61 
Lakewood for a running titled 64 coupe)

Installed oil, cranked for 3 secs the other night.  1/2 quart of oil under 
it today.  Mounted it in my Corsa, and was wiping down the oil, just looking 
for leaks.  1/2 of the drain tubes move - can't feel any o-rings at all - 
pure metal to metal.  LOL  Pretty obvious the engine has never had any work 
done to it.  Absolutely nasty.  (Yes, I took care and wore gloves when 
cleaning the pan of that silver sludge)

Luckily, I have an engine seal set.  Already replaced the pan gasket.  This 
is my last weekend to work on it before St. Augustine.  Guess I'll be under 
it for an extra 2 hours tomorrow.  Just wish I had some painted push rod 
tubes ready.

Couldn't sleep, and doing research, thought I'd share.
