Roger, excellent work! I mean REALLY excellent! I am looking forward to  hear 
how well it all works. The hydraulic roller cam, how powerful it is,  
driveability, the whole can o' peas!!

Well, after 3 years in the design/build phase, my 3.6L Corvair engine fired  
right off this afternoon.
The valve train is still noisy - I'm terrible at  valve adjustment (at any 
temperature) and I'm not sure the lifters are pumped  up yet. A good project for 
tomorow. Once I get it quieted down and the real  exhaust system on it, I can 
actually drive it. Yes, I am  excited!

Please take the time to look at the website below. I think it  was as hard to 
build as the engine. ;-)
