Subject:Re: : Does anyone rebuild air-cooled engines with increased performance?

I have a Boston Engine 2.0 l air-cooled in my '81 Vanagon.
It was installed last November.

I believe Bob Donalds states that he lowers the compression
slightly for longer life.  My engine certainly has less power than
either predecessor; gas mileage isn't great either.

I hope it is long-lived!
