John What do you mean IF you were to build a KR? You already are building a KR your doing it right now as you read this. Start any part of it. Just get going. Send for the plans. Just to drool over. Buy an engine.(Corvair)(VW) Your grandson will soon be old enough to help.(bet he can make great engine sounds!) Lurking is good I lurk too. When the flyers type I lurk.....
Learn more that way, I do.

YOU can do this and you will enjoy it. Get yourself Wynne's book and a Corvair shop manual (Ebay) You will need the number of Clark's Corvair (parts) If you do not wish to do any wild horse power increasing changes you can handle it! The only real tools you may have to buy or borrow are torque wrenches. Keep it clean inside and out and you'll do fine. Lot'a help on here too! Just a little bigger smile when you pull back on the stick. I have two dissembled right now watching the 5th bearing crowd for any news. (didn't we all do rambler heads?) Check out Mark Langford's webpages also good info there also Gary ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Skorczewski" <jsko...@hotmail.com> To: <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Saturday, October 25, 2008 7:22 PM Subject: KR> Corvair engine build I`m a long time lurker and a short time member. I have seen the links for W Wynne Corvair college, and seen the links to the many members with Corvair engines. My question is this: how difficult is it to convert/rebuild a Corvair engine if you are not an A&P or an engineer? My main engine experience is replacing head gaskets on my high school Rambler station wagon, (I`m so embarrassed!!!) about a hundred years ago. I do woodwork and I work with my hands, but not on engines. Is this something I can tackle myself or is it something I should farm out if I were to build a KR? BTW- I`m the guy that was chasing my 3 yr. old grandson around at the Kr gathering at MVN. :) Thanks,Dr John Skorczewski, D.M.D.1325 Jefferson Dr. Nashville, IL 62263 _________________________________________________________________ When your life is on the go?take your life with you. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/115298558/direct/01/ _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
