<VV> Naked engine operation

[Sethracer at aol.com]

If the engine is not being asked to perform any real work - as in it will  
only sit there idling - It should be a while before it overheats. Do you  
suspects any leaking areas already? If so, you should be able to spot a leak  
easily. If you intend to do this, I suggest you remove the cooling fan and 
the  belt before doing it. This will give you a better view of the top and 
back  of the motor area - where most leaks occur.  It is also safer. - Seth

When you mention removing  the top shrouds, which shrouds?
The turkey roaster or the side shrouds, or  all the above.

Subject: <VV> Advice needed: CHEAP  oil drip pans

Since my new garage floor looks so purty.....I would  rather that some of 
my 
"treasures" not foul it up with their droppings.  (NOT my Corvairs).    The 
'62 Pontiac is the worst offender. (it  rejects ALL fluids put into it)

Floor is epoxy in the lift area, and 3  coats Sherwin-Williams concrete 
paint
- topped with a sealer on the other  80%.  Looking for a cheap way to slip
something under cars as  needed.  Something that will not bleed through  to
the  floor.  I tried 30 lb. roofing felt and oil went straight through   
it.  
Same for roofing shingles.  Hey.  I had all that  lying  around anyway.  
What would be nice is to have about 3 oil  catchers that I  could just use 
as
needed, until I can deal with the  offenders.

All advice considered and appreciated.  Remember, this  must pass  the
Corvairisti mantra.  We are   CHEAP.
