Corvair Forum

ok so I am throwing my hands up. I have a 62 that I think has a stuck piston. bottom line it needs a complete rebuild. I am in Fayetteville NC and am looking for someone that works on corvairs and will give me a quote on doing a rebuild and maybe more. Right now it is a real mess.

Thanks ,

Matthew thanks for the pics and all the good advice hopefully I'll post some pictures soon of nice clean carbs thanks

Thanks guys all let you know how things go.

Okay I just pulled off both carbs off my 62 and as you can see they are filthy and grimy. First question I have is Clark's the best place to get a rebuilding kit. Second question is what's the best way to clean these nasty things. I have check the form and the best thing I've seen is an ultrasonic c...

No that's pretty much the way it looked like when we took the shrouds off. I vacuumed out a bunch of leaves and stuff like that. It appears somewhere along the way somebody has put primer all over then cylinders, heads and everything. I figure I will have to clean that off because I think it'll over...

Nice Spider man welcome to the site. These guys got lots of information and are lots of help. Welcome

Okay started taking off the shrouds today and just kept going to see you what we would find ,project keeps getting more and more complicated. But I figure if we're going to do this we ought to do it right thing about all the heads off sandblast them get them cleaned up.

I will give it a try and let you know how it goes.

The flywheel is not turning. I think the engine is locked up that is what has me worried. I have not tried to roll it while in gear yet.

Well I put my starter in and tried to turn her over, but no joy. You can her the starter try to engage but no more. It has me a little concerned. I decided to work on the floor boards for a while there is no lack of word to do.

Thanks Dan.

I am new to this and every idea and little help is good stuff

Thanks again.

Ok so I have been doing some research and found out that my 62 Monza was originally Honduras Maroon (948). I am nowhere near ready to paint her but was wondering if anyone knew if you can still get touch up paint in spray cans for this color.

Thanks in advance.

Hooked it up and worked like a champ! Thanks again.

Thanks guys!! i will give it a shot after work tonight.

Ok so I just had my starter rebuilt and they said it was good to go at the shop. I wanted to test it myself before putting it in the car. I was just using wire from the battery to bump it over and got no joy. I tried all sort of combos with the three spots for wires. Ok so I am so not a mechanic try...

Well i just got my starter and alternator back from being rebuilt. it cost me a little more than i had expected but wow it looks good. hope to put them in this weekend. i will let you know how it goes.
