CorvAircraft> Corvair manual

[Dave Morris "BigD"]

The Finch book is required reading for anybody building an engine, 
because it contains the correct torquing sequence for the head 
studs.  According to Finch and WW, the one in the GM manual is not 
optimal.  William does not reprint the sequence in his manual out of 
respect for the copyright Finch has on his book.

Chris, even if you're not going to have to build the engine yourself, 
I highly recommend reading William's manual cover to cover at least 
once.  There's all kinds of good stuff in there you'll want to have 
filed away in your brain somewhere later on.
