Hi All,

Larry made up to Oregon and Roadhaus is not fairing
well.  He posted to the wetwesties that he needs a
motor and is in the shallow end of the trip $$$
bucket.

Here is his note:
Volks,

Some days you rule the road and some days the road
rules you.

It pains me to say that today was the latter.

Looks like my engine is trashed.

A while back, after the failure of the third set  of
2.2L pistons I reverted to stock 2.1L pistons.

Unfortunately, because of a questionable head,  the
result was low compression in the number one cylinder.

Then two days ago a significant amount of lifter noise
started.

Today ..... it sounds like she is going to tear
herself apart at the seems.

No power ... can't keep it running and need granny low
to get over a speed bump.

I need to find a really cheap engine and get it
installed for next to nothing ..... or I'm sad to say,
the Roadhaus Roadtrip may be over.

Regrettably there just isn't enough cash left in the
bucket to fund a proper new engine purchase and
install.

Fortunately I made it to a friend's place in Oregon
(Susan Dolvin's Westfalia Acres).

Will hang out here for a couple of days and try to
figure out the next move.

All suggestions and creative solutions welcome.
