Chris: I was the list member that sold you that engine and I'm sorry to hear that it crapped out on you in TURD. (All scatological references are intentional.) It lasted just about the same amount of time for you that it lasted for me, right around 24 months, which is a crime. I agree: friends don't let friends drive GEX! --------------------------------------------------------- Tom Young Lafayette, CA 94549 '81 Vanagon --------------------------------------------------------- From: Chris Smith <chris.smith@AQUILA.NET> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2001 1:49 PM Subject: Thoughts on a GEX engine
