Yeah, sure. But there are plenty of mechanics who won't touch a stock waterboxer. I can't think of anything easier to R&R on the waterbox compared to a 2.3. Heads are easier, water pump is easier, manifolds, etc. I guess there are plenty of closed minded mechanics who wouln't touch a conversion, but there are probably plenty that would. How much reseach have we done on this anyway? Likewise, if I can build a conversion from the ground up, why would I take it to a mechanic to change the alternator or timing belt anyway? > -----Original Message----- > From: Bill Davidson [mailto:wdavidson@thegrid.net] > Sent: Sunday, July 16, 2000 4:58 PM > To: Pat Dooley; vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM > Subject: Re: Re: Gotta Be a Wasserboxer! > > > > Really, where is the WB advantage? > > Simple.... > > Try to get any dealer or almost any mechanic to work on a conversion... > > They won't touch it! > > Bill > > |
