<VV> [fastvair] Re: Reverse Rotation Cooling

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

I've got to second Lon on this.  I've never had one  overheat with the 
stock system of shrouding, belts and fans.  And I do  drive mine quickly when I 
drive them (none are respectable looking  unfortunately, but I'm still 
paying off the kids' student loans)  I have  seen lots of Corvairs being driven 
with missing pieces of shrouding  and missing spark plug boots and being 
maligned because the car  was at fault and not the owner.  And it is usually new 
owners with no  experience with air cooled engines. I saw the same thing in 
the Army in the  '60s when "mechanics" would ruin Onan air cooled engines 
that powered our  generators because they would run them without their 
shrouding.

Mark -  of course I understand what you're saying. I've dealt with 
performance  people for most of my 38 years in business. That's not the 
issue  here.  The implication (and fastvairs) was made on Virtual Vairs 
that  the stock Corvair cooling fan was insufficient at keeping a Corvair  
cool.

Now we come to the point where we apparently have to worry  about the 
cooling  fan.
