Hi Richard and list,

Just wanted to ask people to keep this thread on the list as I'm watching with interest.

My report on my local shop is still outstanding but other then being very slow I'm hoping the work quality and price turn out to be good.

My van is still at his shop so results are unknown.

Richard New England is a big place. Where are you located? I expect the closer to you the shop is the better.

Over the past few months it appears that it has either a bad head (or two) or bad head gaskets on the combustion chamber part of the head. The symptoms are that after a stretch of highway driving, the coolant overflow tank (the one behind the license plate) fills out and spits out coolant from the top vent hole. > > In days gone by, I would have done the work myself....but I'm getting a bit told to crawl about under the van these days.
