Subject:      How to do a head reseal on a diesel vanagon?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I have to do a cylinder head gasket job on a friends 82 diesel westy. Does
anyone have a better writeup than the bentley, especially, do i need these
specific tools for the drive belt?
The engine is currently bubbling out coolant between head and block....
argh.  I know that on an engine with already 165k on it, this might be a
temporary fix, but I am unsure of the costs and time involved in a
1.9conversion, so I guess its gonna be just fixing it for now.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

thanks a lot
