>>I'm one of the lunatics...i really like the WB and have no desire at all to change it...not even a curious inkling. This motor is a keeper and will be rebuilt when the time comes.

When I first got my vanagon, I assumed I would also join the I4 swap club. However, after changing a few sensors, my 1.9 is running like a top. It's got 146k and original engine and tranny. Head gaskets aroung 100k. Fairly robust engine, I'd say.

I'm now leaning toward putting in a rebuilt WB when the time comes. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com
