Subject:Re: 82 Diesel Vanagon - what caused cam bearing to fail?

It is hard to determine exactly what happened "over the net"
(But Dennis and Maynard both gave very good advice). I suggest
you take a good friend with you who knows this stuff (maybe someone
nearby on the list can help), or if in doubt bring the parts to
a good Diesel mechanic. (I assume the head is off now)

How to find a good Diesel mechanic? Check the local yellowpages for
Diesel fuel injection shops. Find out who is a Bosch authorized rebuilder
Call them and ask for recommendations. They will know who the good
Diesel mechanics are.

Best,
Martin
