Re: 110 vs 140 crankshaft
A turbo and 140 crank will have a ampersand stamp on the crank hub indicating its nitride coated, at this point I would not worry about this with your build and the crank you have will most likely be fine if its not cracked. Even the hardened cranks can break, I say run it!

Re: Wrong Way to Pull a Motor
I will pull engine only on a PG car if the engine is what needs servicing, especially on a LM car to avoid pulling the axels and control arms, PG cars do not have the long input shaft and pulling the engine only is easy. A manual you pull the entire power pack, in my younger days it was a 1/2 hour-...

Re: which transaxle oil to use

GL5 back in the 80's. I beat that car to death and the transmission still shifts li...

Re: Problem registering for the convention
Al, maybe you should check into it and see if someone can fix it this time! This was from 2 days ago in a email to me from someone trying to sign up: Okay, I GIVE UP! I have tried 3 times to join that stupid Org, and it just keeps cycling me back from CORSA to PayPal to CORSA, to PayPal, to CORSA to...

Re: Problem registering for the convention
Not only that but the Corsa web page is broken as well, it basically makes it almost impossible to join the organization unless you call someone! The Capshaw is broken and sends you in a never ending loop or wont recognize when you click it to either join or recover your account! It was like this 4 ...

Re: Fan belt roller guide demonstration
Kevin, Have you thought about using replaceable rubbing blocks instead of rollers? Might solve the bearing problem?

Re: Buyer beware
It does not matter who or what type business you deal with these days once in a while a bad part gets delivered! I have found a simple phone call fixes the problem. I have received a defective part from both Ca Vairs and Clarks (very seldom) and a simple phone call had a new replacement part on its...

Re: NECC MOTORSPORTS HIGH PERFORMANCE DRIVING EVENTS
Al, wasn't the Corsa insurance for track events removed? Also I been thinking of putting on a track event at Willow Springs, are your events for Corvairs only or any car?

Re: Candidates for CORSA Director
Al, can't the same thing be done with the mail in paper ballots? Why cant Corsa only mail ballots out that contain the candidates in the members / clubs region to avoid members from voting out of their area? AND if someone does accidentally vote for a candidate not in their region why toss the ballo...

Re: Buyer beware
Did either of you call and ask or tell Jeff about the problem? I think that should be your first move instead of starting a bashing thread! I have been buying Stuff from Jeff for his entire 25 years and have never had a problem, you might try calling?
