Hi,


I have an aircooled Vanagon in need of a rebuild. I'm sure I have
been hell on this thing per Bob's comments - but it has never broken
down on me. All I want is to go 55 up a 30 degree grade, which I know
would require a miracle and a 55 MPH tail wind.


I was recently discouraged from Jake Raby's rant on Aircooled
Vanagons. So I know that there are people with all sorts of opinions,
even from those that know more than me. However, I do think an
additional oil cooler and ceramic coating offset many of the pitfalls
of this design.


Conrad
