Special
thanks to Cash Case for his demonstration of using a Stud
Welder to pull dents. The cost of the Stud welder and
accessories was $119.95 from Harbor Freight Tools.
At our
September meeting we had an interesting parking lot tech
session. One of the members Corvairs had developed an oil
leak on the way to the meeting that came from an extension
the owner had installed for his oil pressure sensor. This
extension, about 4 inches in length, had vibrated causing
the threads of one of the 1/4" pipe connections to crack.
Lesson learned: If you have reason to extend the piping in
this area, be sure to support it in some manner that
vibration will not affect it.

oil to use in your Corvair and other flat tappet engines?
