Corvair Engine 2700cc

Look at all that excess casting flash on the stock corvair cylinders. These are the .030" cylinders from Clark's Corvairs. I bought the 30 over cylinders to match the new set of forged pistons I got with one of the engine cores.

I used my Rotozip tool with the zipmate attachment and metal cutting blade. I ran it between the cylinder fins. They cleaned up very well and quick too.

Be careful how deep you go. You don't want to make a new exhaust hole in the side of your new cylinders!

I washed the cylinders with lots of soap and hot water. They will start rusting within minutes of letting them dry. I wiped them down with a clean rag and painted them,

The cylinders after painting with a ceramic 1200 degree paint and baked in the oven. Oil immediately after pulling from the oven to protect them from rusting. Put them in a plastic bag until you are ready for assembly.
