Re: metal

no I never had the blower cover off
they are very small particles if they
made it through an open intake valve could they somehow get into the oil.
do you think I should pull the blower cover and see what the bearings look
or just put it back together and run it the way it is and see what happens

I pulled the oil pan off to install a new gasket and found a few very small pieces of aluminum
I think it came from when I put a helicoil in a stripped out p0lug hole
any thing I need to do to try to clean the oil lines better

Re: installing head gaskets

the head gaskets arrived today and there is no way they will fit inside the head
I ask the place where I bought them if maybe I
ordered the wrong size for a 1965 110hp corvair and they said no they only list one size
Just guessing but it looked about 3/16 bigger than the old ones
