Corvair Forum

I am getting some end play in my 1965 110hp corvair
that I use for an airboat motor Is that caused by ware on the thrust bearing
it seems to run alright that way
do I need to fix it or just keep using it that way
the bearing is fine otherwise

ok thanks for those instructions
have a Merry Christmas

found a pack of 100 of the 5/8 long ones for 15 bucks thanks for the info In order to change the O-rings on the oil return tubes can I get to them by removing the valve covers it has been so long since I overhauled that engine I don't remember that was back in the early seventies and I am 84 and my ...

what size inserts do I need for the bolts on a corvair pan
are they 1/4"x20 anf if so how deep?

is there a better way to do this it was recommended by banks &Maxwell back in the early 70s
It has worked for several years so It must be ok

That is a lot of good information Thanks for that.
with my set up I have to bend the pan bottom in about a 1/2" at the rear
to be able to use a VW starter as it has to mount in front of the propeller
also I would like to replace the thrust bearing is that a hard job?

Ok I will go with the helicoils
I do need a new pan gasket and also need the valve tube O-rings some of those are leaking
where is the best place to buy those two Items online
want some place that accepts PayPal

I have several 1/4" pan bolts that a stripped out
is there a kit I can buy to heli coil them or would it be ok to rethread the holes and use 5/16" bolts?

OK guys I got the message
I removed the ammeter and had a cheap voltmeter gauge
so I put that in and it is working great so that problem is solved

Have a good day.

I agree with what you are saying but I used the instructions from the auto meter company where I bought the meter and only removed the fuse I had and went direct hookup without the fuse and so far all is working fine this is on an airboat so I will try it like you say and see if I get the same resul...

Just bought a new voltage regulator for 1964 an d I have a 20 amp fuse in my line and when I get to around 1400 rpm
