<VV> [fastvair] Re: Reverse Rotation Cooling

John - In the case of the Corvair turbo it's possible (easy in fact)  to 
blow the engine up or melt it down by doing something as "innocent" as 
flooring it up a long grade on a warm day to pass cars.  That does not 
constitute "normal" operating conditions.
