Steve, could you share with us total cost of transplant and what additional
parts did you have to buy or take from old engine?
I have an '84 with 1.9L engine and sooner or later I am going to need a
transplant

I recently clocked 50,000 miles on the AVP remanufactured 1.9L long
block that I purchased in August, 1997.  Not much to say--no news
is good news. [sound of knuckles on wood]


Repair expenses, aside from normal periodic maintenance -- $0.


Compression still in the 130s all around.


It didn't use much oil to start with, and seems to use less as time
goes by. On a recent 5500 mile road trip it used 1/2 quart.


Most of the miles were on 2-lane highways in the American west, but
the van is also my daily driver and only motorized transportation.
