HAR!!!!!!!!!!! Now that does put the problem in terms I can readily
understand, not that I have experienced the problem mind you as my 1.9
is air-cooled, highly reliable (knock on wood) and has not petered out
(yet). (puns required)
Hmmmm........... How'd ya get a 1.9 aircooled? Is this a made up story about
a made up engine?

IIRC Vanagons came with 2.0 aircooled motors. That's not saying you can't
cobble a 1.9 out of aircooled VW parts. This is gnus to me if your Vannergon came
with them stock. When Vernagon folks talk 1.9, they are usually refering to
the 1.9 liter horizontally opposed with watercooled heads injun. That's what I
wuz stinking.
