Great photography! I have seldom seen such professional lighting; makes viewing really enjoyable. Your editing is also exception. Looking forward to the rest of this project.😊 Jnra

Patience is definetly a virtue when working on these old cars. Heat and pentrating oil will save you a world of headaches as you learned. I like to try and clean the exposed threads before removing a nut or bolt if at all possible with a wire wheel or brush. That helps once you break it loose. Of course that is not always possible. Good work! enjoying watching the progress.

Did that to a 65 back in 1974, though suspension differs. made a throwout bearing noise, but with the clutch released. It was the bolts behind the flywheel holding the bell housing onto the engine. the loose bolts rubbed the flywheel.

Great job, I'm sure you learned a lot!! High pressure is not necessary for cleaning. Use plenty of degreaser, Sam's Club has a very good purple one, cheap by the gallon. Scrape off the heavy crud first. Putty knives and plastic scrapers work well. You can get 90% off and brush it away. Get a regular parts brush and old tooth brush. Work through grime a layer at a time. Rinses away easily. You'll be eating off the engine, without the huge mess of greasy spray all over everything.

I'm right behind you. What started as a valve job has morphed into an engine swap. :)

That seemed easy seen from my lazy chair. Nice content, looking forward to discover the state of the body

Make sure you replace the bearings on the axle shafts. If they fail, the axle will come out while you are going down the road! These are fun videos !

Love watching your ‘63 Corvair Spyder videos. I’ve seen three of them so far. I have a non-running ‘64 Corvair Spyder Convertible 4-speed in my garage getting way too little attention from me. You’re inspiring me to get after it. I work on lots of newer cars (I’m a very accomplished shade tree mechanic), but my Spyder (her name is Jennifer) is getting jealous. I’d post a picture of her if I can figure out how.

I know it’s too late now, but they make water-proof/exterior painters tape. Works great. In case you ever need it in the future. I used it when I thought I had a sunroof leak. Turned out to be the windshield gasket. But it did its job and helped me troubleshoot the issue.

Great job ! As always liked and shared. Looking forward to the next video.

Kroil is your friend. also PB Blaster.

Love the content. Inspires me to work on my Corvair. Early Spyder vert. What a cool find. Thanks for keeping us Corvair fans entertained.

Oh... What a strange car to remove the engine from... I'm posting this before watching to say... I'd be pulling the CV axles first and then staring at it to decide if it needs to go up, or down out of the car... I've pulled a VW bug engine before, a smaller, similar horizontally opposed engine. The VW bug / bus engines always go down. It's easy because the car weighs about as much as a wet paper bag and one or two people can just pick the car up and shove it forward like a wheel barrow, but I have never worked on a Corvair before. I respect your dedication to this project and your willingness to do what needs to be done, keep up the great work!

This is a super exposition of what its like working on a car that has been sat for years. Following these principals anybody can remove the parts and the engine whether it be a Corvair or not. Great job of doing all that without shearing any bolts or studs. Look forward to your next videos.

Cool. Good job.

Heat and pb blaster when removing old bolts

Cleaning engines use a wide fan nozzle and less pressure. Purple power full strength is a good degreaser and cheap.👍

The bolts that sheared are the upper rear engine mount boltss. You removed the lower ones.

i also have a 63 spyder turbo convertable

You can get a remote for your winch

The first thing dumb is to start with a corvair that was a nice car in its day but old was quick w them even new

Is that blower motor and ducting to cool the turbo?

Get some kroile or wd40 for them bolts that should save a lot of them

Rear engine mount bolts are grade eight, I would be tempted to go to larger bolts. Vacuum control on distributor is spryer only backs timing when boost is on. Also had throttle cut wide open. Linkage falls off and is spring loaded open. Johnfweis@icloud.com 21:44
