Peter,

That was my thought exactly when I looked at the ad. I no wonder the
lifter ticks. You drive it 80 mph all day. I seldom go above 63 or
strain it going up hill on mine and after 63k it still runs like it was
just broken in.

Add states: "Top VW techs say either lifter or wrist pin. it has 130
comp. on each cylinder and it will do 80 all day long so I dont worry
about it."

After reading the vanagon thread on the worst design flaws of the German
engineers perhaps the one big one overlooked was that they failed to
understand the American driver........

Anyone out there run a solid 2.1 wbx at 80 all day long? Let along one
with potential problems.

or maybe it's just me, but my solid 2.1 likes to run about 65 "all day
long"
