<VV> dumb question!

[corvairs]

Ray - Oil is the Corvair disc killer. There is no way to clean the oil 
out without destroying the lining. I would say from personal experience 
that 19 out of every 20 Corvair discs are replaced because of oil and no 
other reason.

(Should I?)  You're probably embarking on a new and wonderful adventure. 
I suspect that your flywheel is bad. Bad rivets cause wallowed out pilot 
bushings, destroyed input seals, oil on the disc and it gets 
worse........Broken clutch release bearing shft, damaged main bearings, 
damaged forward pinion bearings, broken starter noses etc etc.

But maybe you're lucky?    Lon
