This has more or less been the plan, and at very least the engine will serve to keep the bus mobile, but no more long trips in it. Even if I found a loose head nut(s) and re torqued it. In as much as I see more used WBX engines on craigslist et al, blowing the motor while far away from home would suck. And, if it serves as a core for someone else, would rather keep it that way. i.e. not blow it up. ;) LOL. Neil.
