I own a type2 that now has a really bad compression leak around the heads.  I'm trying to
decide whether to fix it or to unload it and get another van (maybe a vanagon).

Here are my questions:
How reliable is the Vanagon (late '80's - early 90's models)?
Can I retrofit a wasserboxer into my type 2?  Would it be worth it?
Does the water-cooled Vanagon engine have more power than my 2.0L type IV?
Could I maintain the speed limit going uphill in a camper?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
