Dennis Haynes was kind enough to detour over to DeLand this evening and take a look at my Vanagon. I about 15 minutes, Dennis had found the cause of my problems. The intake valve on #1 cylinder had lost its keeper and was floating around somewhere in the cylinder head. So, the good news is that I don't have to do anymore troubleshooting and exchange of parts. Bad news is that I need to find a shop that is competent to do an in-van head replacement on a 1.9L waterboxer. Looking for shop that has recently done waterboxer heads. Thank you again, Dennis.
