Viton is the best for the O-rings, they don't turn to stone like the originals did. Aluminum oil pans to replace the flimsy tin oil pan. My 62 does not leak a drop ever! The 65 leaks like it was shot with a shotgun but I am working on that.
The big gag at the Corvair shows is to cut a piece of black plastic to look like an oil puddle and toss it under buddies engine and sit back and watch the reactions! Gregb

At least with those engines you'll never have to fix coolant leaks....I blew a heater hose on my lincoln a while back and the leak quest afterwards lead my to spending this weekend changing a rather leaky frost plug in a one of the most tricky places they put one (it just has to be the hardest one to reach that fails).

Ah yes I remember it well...my first car was a '65 Corvair Corsa (with the 140 HP 4 carb engine, a buddy at the time had the 180 turbo which was troublesome.) The memories... laying under the rear end, replacing those leaky push rod tube O-rings and valve cover gaskets so I wouldn't get smoked out using the heater!
Nice one btw Gregb!
