hi Matt, Here are 2 more suggestions... 1. if you haven't changed the spark plugs yet and if you plan to do it, get the NGK 3 prongs plugs - NGK BP6ET, no need to adjust the gap. 2. I have here 4 cleaned, calibrated fuel injectors FREE for you for the cost of shipping. The story of the injectors is this: last year my van had some sign of power loss, struggling to run properly so I took the injectors out and sent them to be cleaned, calibrated... After that no sign of improvement, bring the van to my mechanic... it was low compression on 2 cylinders... So I had the engine rebuilt. At X-Mas time Marco gave a discount on his injectors so I bought a set for the rebuilt engine... Anyway, I have a set of injectors on the shelf now... it's for you. let me know dan On Tue, Aug 25, 2020 at 9:41 AM Vanagon Man <t3vanagon@gmail.com> wrote: > This is awesome stuff. > Thanks guys! > > > On Aug 25, 2020, at 10:24 AM, Jack R <jack007@comcast.net> wrote: > > > > Good tips for Matt... thanks Dan!!! > > > > I like Chevron Techron, from Costco, best prices and LiquiMoly is also > great.
