Flushing of those 81 Westys does go pretty quickly.  Personally, I prefer
some fluid that isn't as tepid as milk; cold, foamy root beer is a family
favorite around here.


There are two notable advantages to the waterboxers, heat in the winter and
a/c cool in the summer.  Did you ever consider why the waterboxers have
20-25 more horsepower than the air cooled engines?  It could be so that the
family Westy could  patch out from any stop sign, but I suspect that the
German engineers had seen Porsches once or twice, and knew the difference
between them and our Vans.


In any case, enjoy your air cooled and have a great 4th of July.
