That is impressive. I do have to point out that on my '81 Westy, I have never had to replace the water pump. My van has been all the way across Canada in both directions, to Alaska, Key West, LA (where it lived for many years), and, I believe, to 45 of the lower 48. Been to Mexico, too. She has never left anyone stranded in all that time. Just think how reliable she could have been if she had a water cooled engine.
