The Corvair Crowd. Generally very nice, not as quickly accepting as here, but this has been a learning curve for me on the forums. It finally dawned on me that at 65, I'm probably the youngest one there. I told Mrs. 2LZ, "It's like hanging with your dad. They all have they're advice, good or otherwise, and I get the distinct feeling that some think I am 'under talented(?)' ", for lack of a more descriptive term.

Now I confirmed reading something today that it really IS like hanging with her dad!

"Yes....I looked that information up online, then printed it, and put it in a file for easy access."

I find that on some other forums, too. Some I've walked away from.

And, yes, I print stuff out and put it in a file. The wi fi is sketchy and not to be relied upon in the Barn, where I keep those files.

Very happy with the internals. I spun the motor by hand and everything is nice and snug regarding rods, both sideways and end play. I saw no reason with pop caps and whip out the mics and feelers.
There was a little sludge in the pan, but to be expected. The pickup was spotless.
Got the pan, breather and fan cover all done and ready. I'm one valve adjustment from hopefully going the other way and reassembly.
