Brian,

You can search the archives, or wade through the attached files.  They
are comprised of dozens of posts about what Robert Lilley did to his
engine to improve performance and hopefully longevity.  I have not
gotten around to editing them to eliminate redundancy.  Mr. Lilley
generously took the time to respond to many inquiries in great detail.
Depending on the question asked, sometime there was more info about one
aspect of his engine or another, although he generally was describing
the same rebuild process.  There is also a file called the half Lilley
which was a phrase used to describe the easier more accessible
enhancements that were part of his rebuild.

This is simply cut and paste.  I would take an email, cut and paste it
into a WordPerfect document, find the next one that had good info and
do the same expanding the document.  I have barely looked at it since
doing this initial step.  No editing by me, no input, etc.  The words
of Mr. Lilley and the questioners, debaters, etc.

So this will save you lots of time as opposed to an archives search.
Hopefully by summer, I'll have some other vanagon projects finished
and get around to editing this and using it to improve my engines.
