Hello list ,I recently bought a 80 westy w/ the 1+3 cylinders valves burnt. My mech replaced and ground the valves -he said the heads had been welded but where usable. My problem is that i can bring the van up to 45 but whene i shift to 4th 50 is as fast as i can get it even on a slight dowhill grade 53 is tops.i realize than these are under powered but 55 should be a realistic expectation.BTW the tranny doesnt seem to slip. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Matt C.
