I don't anything about Vanagons, only that the engines had a very bad reputations, but for $1,500 asking price, I'm very tempted. What do you guys think? Suggestions, ideas, comments welcome. > >Victor Victor, try to ask that question over in the vanagon group <vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com> and you will get probably more answers/opinions and help on the vanagon. I don't have personal experience with watercooled ones besides what I read (good and bad). I love my aircooled engine. Karl. Karl '81 Westy "Jenny" Wilmington, DE |
