3D print Corvair bore covers during engine rebuild

I played around in TinkerCad over the holidays.  Here are a couple files you can 3D print to create bore cover to keep dirt out of your case while assembling/building it.  I created covers for the cylinder and pushrod tube bores.

I tried to optimize them a bit for a faster print.  I prefer to print them in PETG as it is more durable than PLA.

Note:  Every printer is a bit different and calibration my be off.  If it does not fit correctly try using a minor scale adjustment in your slicer
