Subject:leaky head gasket question again
From:Daniel Curran
Date:Tue, 2 Apr 2002 14:01:43 -0500

Hello all;

I am searching for a waterboxer Westy, having owned a 72 and a 75
previously, and have been thoroughly frightened off by the head gasket
corrosion problems. I have read that this problem is much more common on
83-86 (or 87?) Vanagons, due to some change in the manufacturing of the
head. Is this the case? Are 88-91 Vanagons not susceptible to the pitting,
corrosion, and coolant leakage that the early waterboxers were?

Best,
Daniel Curran
