My 1987 Vanagon Syncro is on its second 2.1

The first owner had the engine replaced at 40,000 miles (I'd like to know
for what.. I bought it from the second owner who didn't know the reason).

It now has over 133,000 miles.. getting close to needing that third one!

PS Will you publish the results? I think it would be interesting.
