Not sure what this means. What is the full teardown? At the moment van is starting normally and running strong and smooth. It does seem to change idle speed a bit but that seems like a vanagon thing. It idles nice no interest in stalling, moves around but I’ll have to get a skilled person to give me a better report on the RPM last person said it seemed to be moving from about 950 to 1040 RPMs at idle. I need to get a few trips in and hopefully find the source of the oil.
Scan gage is on but need someone to set the windows. I’m hoping it remembers the old settings for speed and such as very little should have changed. Eric Caron
