Entity Felder spoke thus: > 83 diesel (maybe) Argh! If it is a blown gasket you can shave the head and put a thicker gasket under it. But if the combustion chamber is cracked and leaking you're shot down and you should find a used head. The process of correctly reassembling the engine is pretty demanding and the stakes are high, so if you don't want to learn on the fly you should have a mechanic do it. If you can find one. Most of them don't give a damn what kind of work they do. BTW, we have a diesel Vanagon group at: <http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Diesel-Vanagon/?yguid=147275560> You might get more advice there. |
