Hey Volks,
I've got the diesel engine that came =
out of my
vanagon, sitting in the garage under plastic. Here's the =
deal. When
I pulled it, it ran good. No smoke, no blow-bye (to speak =
of). It
has either a bad head gasket (probable) or a bad head (improbable) or a =
cracked
block (very, very improbable.) I was getting bubbles into =
the
coolant, but no coolant in the oil. I drove the van for some miles =
with
this engine in it, and it never overheated, and seemed to run =
fine!
Actually I think it's one of those Canadian rebuild jobs with very few =
miles on
it (that's what the girl told me who sold the van, and it has a sticker =
on the
block.)
NO IT DOESN'T COME WITH THE VANAGON =
DIESEL OIL
PAN!
But it does have the injector pump, =
and a few
other things. I'll sell it for $100 bucks or whatever the highest =
offer
is. Come and get it.
