Thanks to all of you for you information and suggestions! Since I have started reading the list my '81 Westy has dropped a valve seat :-( But thanks to your help, I have ordered a rebuilt engine from AVP in California. These folks Specialize in Vanagon engines, as well as install them. They really seem to know their stuff. Hopefully we will get it into the van next weekend. Can't wait to see how she performs with a NEW engine. Will I get up hills now? Can I stop being a rolling roadblock on 2 lane hiways? Will keep you posted with results.
