I get attached to my buses, so I always think to repair them.
I replaced my leaking 1.9 with a 2.1 from Boston Bob and have been very
happy
with the 2.1.  Can you install the rebuilt engine yourself?

I don't know for sure yet, but I might need new heads on my '89
Vanagon
2.1.  There is some kind of leak in the coolant system, and every
other
place has been explorered.  I haven't had a test done yet, but I
suspect
the worse.

So, with about 200,000 miles on the engine, what should I do?  Should
I
fix the engine that I have, or put something new or rebuilt in?

In the near future, I will need a new exhaust system and a new rear
heater core, among other things I'm sure.

The body is rusting now, no holes yet, but coming soon, I think.

I've been looking for a 2nd vehicle anyway, so I'm wondering if I
should
just look for a Eurovan Camper...

Any suggestions?  - Duane
