Thanks for you opinion on the aircooled..the guy w/the
oilleak engine said the head was a "new" one not
rebuilt- not sure if this "could" be possible...any
event he BS'd me on several accounts - said the van
hadn't been started that day,when I came back from the
testdrive he slipped saying he had started it earlier
and no oil leak.

BTW - does anyone have a particular on 1.9L vs 2.1L
and year?  Thanks,
Tony
