Hi All,

It's me again... intrepid owner of 1985 Wesfalia
financial black hole :-)

I just got back from rounds one and two with the local
VW dealer (Delon in Salem Oregon) and the private
business that did the work (German Motors, also of
Salem).

What I found out will hopefully serve as a warning for
anyone that is contemplating the installation of a VW
of Canada (or from anywhere else for that matter)
motor.  VW does not pay labor on their engines unless
they are installed by a factory authorized shop.  This
cracked head is going to cost me money because Delon
didn't do the install.  Fortunately the owner of
German Motors is a man of integrity and is going to
cut this painful learning experience in half.

At this point I am rather demoralized by the huge
vacuum created as the dollars are escaping my checking
account.  Anyone want to buy a Vanagon with enough
financial gravity to collapse the gross national
product of a medium sized country?

Time to make some tea and let it all go :-)
Brian
