Dear vanagoners,

  Is an '89 engine compatable with an '87 Syncro??  I
am considering buying a used engine from an '89 Syncro
that has 100K miles for $450 that includes the
computer and idle stabilizer, sensors and a few other
parts.  I just want to make sure that the '89 parts &
engine will work ok with my '87??  Also does $450 seem
fair??  I am told that the engine ran fine and heads
dont leak.  But this is about the time they start
leaking, I think.
    My current engine also "runs fine"  but it has an
intermittant missing problem that my mechanic cant
solve.  A vw shop said I needed to replace my heads
for $1800...
  Thanks all, for any thoughts on this,

Peter
