<< reetings,
I ran the Wine Country Classic at Sears Point this past weekend in my Devin
Special.....Pretty nice event, good weather, lots of interesting cars
etc...etc... But in the Sunday afternoon race I broke the Corvair motor
....loss of power and then an intermittent unfriendly noise so I shut it
down....
What I'm looking for is a Corvair engine expert in the SF Bay area.....Any
leads?

Jerry-
There was a place called Corvairs Unlimited down in SF, still in biz a year
or so ago.
If you don't think its the bottom end, pull the heads as the valve seats were
noted for falling out of the heads on a regular basis. Definite lack-o-power
and noise! (Sometimes they would "heal" if the seat fell back into the hole,
and seemingly run ok for a confusing very short time)
Yenko Stinger look-a-like long gone...but always wanted a real one...
