 If you own them long enough it happens.  And it is not a dropped value but a dropped valve seat.  Head has to come off and good machine shop can replace.  Clarks has new valve seats.

Folks?

I am despondent. My 1963 Spyder Coupe, that I have owned for 24 years is currently a static display in my garage. My local guy did the troubleshooting. He has determined that I have a dropped exhaust valve. The problem is in the middle cylinder passenger side. Compression zero. All others 150. I?m in Massachusetts. I am at a loss as to how to tackle this. I?m looking for some guidance. Have any of my fellow Corvair people dealt with this?
