A lot easier to do the work you described with the engine out than in the van. Been there; done that. Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Allen" <b.t.allen@MYACTV.NET> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Wednesday, May 08, 2002 8:09 PM Subject: replacing head gaskets on used 2.1L
Have a really tight (150lbs + x4) 2.1 with approx 90K, always used synthetic oil, ran great pre-conversion, been out approx 6 mons, no head leaks. Before I plant it in my 84 S/R Vanagon do I do a head gasket and valve re-seat job prior to install? or take my chances? Realize no real science here, just best guess. TIA Bob Allen 88 Westy FS 86 Syncro Westy FS 84 S/R Vanagon, soon to have weekender, 2.1 etc (keeper) |
