-----Original Message----- Behalf Of Colin & Bev Rainey Not being as familiar with the Corvair as other 6 cyl engines I don't know what the "overfill" limit would be. What we always cautioned against happening with an overfill situation was the crankshaft getting completely covered with oil and then "beating" the oil like an egg beater and causing it to foam.
The crankshaft on the Corvair is at the top so this would not be an issue. However, the cam is on the bottom therefore that could be an issue but not as severe as a crank since the cam is much smaller and only has lobes. I have not reinstalled my top cover yet and I will take a look at this when I am at the airport tomorrow evening. Mark Jones (N886MJ) Wales, WI
