Hi all, I just had my van tuned up at the local friendly VW mechanic.
He checked my cylinders and came up with  130 140 75 140. I am
wondering what is my best route from here; valve job on both sides, or
look for a compete motor, rebuild my motor, ignore the problem until
something really bad happens, or sell the van and buy a sensible car.
I am driving it up to Ojia this weekend for camping, it runs fine now
that its been tuned up and the points replaced (mechanic said points
were shot -- maybe I should go solid state?)
The other problem is this van is originally a AZ vehicle, I am in CA. I
don't have the O2 sensor or the harness, can anyone tell me if this is
something I can add, or does the brain need transplanting too? I was
planning to go junkyard searching for that bit.

TIA
