<VV> New heads, an approach...

Scotty:
I am not quite sure what that means.  In the case of a Corvair engine the cylinder barrel would be located by the bore in the block and shoulder screw fasteners would be sufficient to locate it radially.  Some adjustment to the CR could be made with gasket thickness or spacers.  This would, of course, change the rocker arm geometry so the amount of possible change would be limited ... or ... one could go to adjustable push rods.

Has  consideration been given in the new Corvair head design to an integral 
cylinder / head with an iron liner?

I had thought out loud (on Fastvair) about this sort of setup but was told  
that it was too complex to install as the system had to be (I think 
"registered"  is the word) to the crankcase and any adjustment to the C.R. 
would 
necessitate  new pistons.
