I think the shorter list would be the ones with no problems.

I feel the the kit was about 90% there, and they decided to sell it anyway.

I'm lucky, so far, I've only had the hot start problem (as stated before,
remedied with a work-around courtesy of the installer, but still not right.)
and the 3900 RPM drone. I've had very good driveability and mileage.

I am going to have to replace my heater core valve as the engine coolant
pressure seems to be too much for the old valve to resist. Ken Wilford
identified this problem and I believe he stated that other conversions with
more vigorous water pumps also have this problem. He can verify that.

I think if you search the archives, you'll find a significant number of
Eurospec conversions with nagging problems.

I'd really like to know if there are any E-Spec'd vans with no problems so
far.
