Yes, N886MJ came to life again today at exactly 4:01 PM. There were no problems
with the re-birth of my Corvair engine. She started right up and ran smooth for
fifteen minutes before I shut her down. The engine accelerated smooth up to
2500 rpm and through all ranges of rpm. I did not run it up
Sid's rotisserie is exactly what I what I have done except mine is on
casters. My wing has been built entirely on the rotisserie which will make
painting a breeze as Sid has discovered. The construction is a little
different but the principal is the same. Photos here.

Barry,
I made a rotisserie for my wings. I bolted two aluminum angles to the
WAFs. These were then bolted to a piece of 1/2-inch plywood. I drilled

This is great news! Now I don't have to change my oil but every 1080 hours!
That's assuming my average oil temp is about 222F during the summer.
I found this tip on the Reliabilityweb.com site.
Lubrication Tip, Rule of Thumb:
The service life of petroleum based oil is specified as
30 years @ 85 degrees F (30 degrees C)
15 Years @ 104 degrees F (40 degrees C)
3 months @ 212 degrees F (100 degrees C)
For every 10 degrees F (10 degrees C) oil

That is a very new and interesting baffle. If that works, which it looks
like it should, that will be one of the really fresh ideas to come along in
quite some time. I like that intake manifold also. That was going to be
