Thank you for this informative video...well lit, excellent sound, showed me some things I am not familiar with. I know powerglide powered Corvairs but getting ready to work on a 64 convertible, my 1st straight drive Corvair.
@@DickShaw Hello. On Corvairs and all GM small blocks of that era 0 lash plus 1/2 to 3/4 additional turns usually dialed in the valve adjust. Check your push rod ends they get worn and fling too much oil causing a multitude of problems. New one are handy or you can fill weld and redress the ends of you want. When push rod holes get worn open excessively too much oil travels out of the lifters. This causes lifter clatter an damage. Also to much oil flings into the valve covers. This can increase valve cover and push rod tube leakage and lower your over all engine oil system pressures. Naturally causing lubrication and premature bearing conditions.. Probably one of the least understood issues for millions of engine builders.
I enjoy washing someone who takes there time and does things right and clean you have a new subscriber here
Thank you.
Very cool garage and video
Great video which gives me confidence to put my back together. I bought my 63 with the engine and entire drive train out and apart.
Glad it helped. Good luck with your project.
DO I EVER REMEMBER WORKING ON MY CORVAIR !!

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

very good info.
Thanks. I'm glad it helped.
Wondering if you put thread locker on the bolts when you took the washers off🤔
I don't think I did but that is a good idea. Thanks for watching!
Should have adjusted that noisy valve clatter. These are not Beetles.
Yes it was pretty noisy. I did adjust the valves when I put new valve cover gaskets and it quieted down a bunch. Thanks for watching!
