Subject:Latest info on the '83 Westy
From:Standley, Craig
Date:Thu, 19 Jul 2001 11:14:03 -0800

First, I'd like to thank everyone that responded to my earlier questions,
the information has been helpful.  To recap, I'm looking at an '83 Westy
with 82,000 miles on it.

Here's what I just heard from the dealer, it sounds pretty good.  The only
worry is that the head gaskets were done 5 years ago, is that about how long
they last?

Recent:
alternator
oil change
battery

Oct 2000
clutch (flywheel, t/o bearing, etc)

'97
Tires (not truck tires though, so they'll be replaced soon)

'96
head gaskets ($$$)
water pump

Compression (done today)
160,160,170,170
