Way true. I just barely escaped this disaster. One of the small lines running between the fuel injection harness/rack and the injector cracked. I had fuel running on the ground and a hot motor. Felt lucky to have noticed it with my nose rather than the worst case scenario. Also, replace all the small coolant lines in the engine compartment. They get brittle and crack unexpectedly. Bob Stevens '87 Syncro Westy Welcome to the list. One blatant item is that you have not replaced is the fuel lines. Vanagain.com sells a kit with all of the pieces. This is important as the fuel lines are OLD and likely cracked with heat and age and are under HIGH pressure. Faulty fuel lines is the the #1 cause of engine box fires. Do it sooner rather than later.
