First time posting. My wife and I are about two hours away in Detroit. We have taken our 81 Air Cooled to Munk's Motors in Waterford. They are a VW and Porsche shop who have lots of vanagon experience. A bit pricey but they do good work and are friendly. Their number is (248) 681-8081. Good luck! I'm happy to help if they can get down this way. I'm no mechanic but have hot showers, a driveway, coffee, WiFi, etc.

It's unlikely that a Subaru shop can successfully fix this engine, or has even seen a WBX engine. If she is running a Subaru conversion, then they could order factory parts. "Gushing coolant" sounds more like a hose than a head gasket leak to me, but I guess it's possible. |
