Subject:      Tiico Engine Questions
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Hello All,
After 5 years and too many head gaskets to count I am replacing the tired
engine in my 87 Westi  (240K miles)   It still runs decent but the coolant
tank is pressurizing again and I cannot trust it on a long trip which is the
whole point of its existance.  I am about 99% ready to pull the trigger and
buy the Tiico package but before tossing down that much cash I wanted to ask
if anyone on the list had one installed for any length of time.  Any
Problems?  Is the Horsepower increase noticable?  Any Installation problems?

Also Would anyone be interested in the core engine and electronics I will be
removing...  Any first hand advice is welcomed but I am not interested in the
Suby Conversion...as Seinfeld would say-"not that there's anything wrong with
it."

Thanks in advance.
