We have the 1.9-->2.1l stoker in our '83.5 Westy. The only problem we're had
in 45.000 miles is the front oil seal leaking (just in the last couple of
months--gotta fix that sometime). I dealt with AVP directly, and they were
very cooperative and took care of all problems (in our case we had the wrong
water pump shipped initially). It still has great compression, noticeably
better power, and only leaks in that one spot. (gotta fix that).
