Subject: <VV> Forgotten baffle WAS Baffle Installation
There was a time I rebuilt an engine in my basement garage. I drove the car in and removed the drive train, separated the trans axle, disassembled the engine, cooked the heads and block halves in my own carb cleaner pail, lapped the valves, reassembled on my own engine stand, and put it back in the car ... the point is the entire job was done within the walls of my basement garage. I crawled under to install the oil pan and the lower shrouds ... I could not believe my eyes when I realized ONE of those baffles was not on the engine!!! Worse than that, the baffle was not to be found ... anywhere ... that was a good 25 years ago and it still has not shown up :-[

To get back to the original subject of this thread. So a guy who does not
work on Corvair engines regularly failed to install the baffles. Let's
forget that he was set up by them not being made available to him. All the
people who have built more than two or three engines and never forgot them
"stand up". The rest of us will just sit here and smile cause we know you
are fibbing.
