I have a 1971 bus. I have pulled the engine a few times to take care of this and that. I have also recently acquired a 1984 automatic Westy with no A/C. At first glance, pulling its engine seems a bit harder. If, for example, one wanted to pull the heads and check the gaskets. Some kind of mechanical adventure like that. So, on a scale 1 to 10, assuming that taking off the gas cap is a "1", and pulling the 1971 bus's engine is a "5" -- how would you rate this year/model Vanagon engine pull? -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 VW Type 2 / 84 Westy: A poor but proud race.
