I'm changing my top cover to a LM bigger bearing, what are the torque specs for the bolts and is there a sequence. I can't find my manuals to look it up. Thanks Jeff

The torque spec for the crankcase cover 5/16-18 bolts is 7-13 ft. lbs. in both the 1961 and 1965 shop manuals. No sequence is specified. Anti-seize compound is recommended.

Having the proper reference materials – including the factory shop manual – is important. You can download all of these references at no cost onto your computer in Adobe Reader format from the links below. You can then read through the procedures and print the appropriate pages that you will need to refer to as you go through the procedure on your Corvair. Of course, you can also purchase hard copies of the shop manual from Clark's Corvair Parts or other sources. I hope you will find some useful references at these websites to add to your personal technical library.

Thanks Brad your the best. I've been working on this thing all winter and just keep running into small road blocks along the way. I'm hoping to get it going so I can drive it to Knoxville in June. Thanks again Jeff.
