The name's John, and I wanted to say howdy to the
group and introduce myself...although I'm sure I'll be
well know before all is said and done.  Why is that?
Well, I just happen to have a 1980 VW Vanagon L
sitting in the driveway.  Yet, the engine now sits on
my carport, stripped to the block.

I tell ya, it was like opening up the lungs on a 97
year old Lucky Strike smoker.  What a shame.  I always
get the one that was owned by "One of those guys" who
consider duct tape and silicon adequate tools for a
tune up.  Heads are toast too, the valve seat issue ya
know.  Oh yes, it's the 2.0L Fuel Inj. air-cooled
power plant.  And yes, for those who are thinking it,
it did run when I bought it.  Drove it for two
weeks...little less power than it should have had, but
it ran.  I can't for the life of me see how now that
I've seen the guts.

Oh well, enough of that.  That should sum up what I'm
up against.  Any and all suggestions welcome...and
sarcasm always welcome...of course I have a sense of
humor, I bought a VW now didn't I? :)

Looking forward to the wealth of knowledge found in
these forums.

Good day and good night.

John Tullier
