So how many on this list have Air Cooled Vanagons engines with over 200K
on them? I have a number of customers who have done it with the
WaterBoxer. The FUN BUS is now at 216K. I did have to replace the valve
covers when they rusted through. It still can go on long trips such as
New York to Florida and back last February.
