I recently picked up a decent 1985 Vanagon for a good price. The previous owner said the cam gear rivets are backing out (is this common?) and the engine will need a rebuild. It's got a very noticable wobble/knock. I'm on a tight budget and would rather replace the engine with a less fatigued WBX for the time being. I'm in Oregon and am willing travel or possibly pay for shipping. Let me know if you have anything. Thanks, John
