It's very rare that I have found the need to defend myself  on this list for
anything other than my spelling and grammar BUT with all  due respect
Problems with Boston Bobs engine makes it sound like I did not  build you a
good engine and that's not a correct representation of the  facts in this
matter.
Why don't you tell the list what we found when we  took your Boston Bob Big
valve engine apart
after only 8 thousand miles.  If you don't I will
sounds like your gas mileage reflects the load what was  the vans weight five
thousand pds is my guess
Frank your trying to make  me look bad and I took excellent care of you
I'm disappointed in  you

I'm very proud of my products and I stand behind them sometimes  more than I
should
nobody does it better
no brag just the  facts

Bob, my friend, I only stated the facts  !  The rest of the story is a whole
'nother story and I was going to keep  it off the List but you seem hell bent
to put it out there so go ahead and tell  your side of it then I will
certainly tell mine !  The report I made this  morning did in no way say anything
about your engine rebuilding prowess, it only  stated the facts of my experience
on this the trip to Everybus, that's  all.  You wanna load up your Westy and do
some real life tripping down the  roads of America your more than welcome to
do so and then make your own  report !  There were 150 buses at Everybus and
some of them were Vanagons  laden to the gills as mine was and we had a lot to
talk about and compare  notes.  Get outa the shop and go see the reality of
real life  experiences of those using the waterboxer engine !
