Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a relationship between the usual highway speed
a vanagon owner drives at and the length of time between head gasket
failures or other major engine problems?  I've heard some list members
mention that they have gotten 200,000+ miles out of a wasserboxer w/ no
problems.  Are these the same drivers that refuse to push their vanagons
over 4000 RPM?  Would some of the listmembers with impeccably good engine
reliability please comment on their driving habits?
