Tom, at those temperatures you will never get a leak down.


I lived in Alaska for 30 years - part of the time with an '85 GL
Vanagon. Never had lifter leakdown in winter. Only in summer. Engine
would cool down to quickly for the lifter leakdown to occur I would guess.


Regards,


John Rodgers
88 GL Driver
