Folks, this is of course, coming from Terry kay..   Terry, i happen to know
the history of that  engine, the van it was from etc.  it was from a '91 that
had 100k on it on the dot that was in a rollover.  the compression was good all
around and Ken wilford can vouch for that as well as i.  ken works on alot of
peoples vans and has a reputation to live up to.  As for the "been on the
block a few times" comment, actually its the first time its been on ebay.   the
van used to be mine and it now belongs to my best friend.  i wouldnt sell
anything, especially something that wasnt in good shape- to my best friend.  it was
advertised before on vortex and samba but the majority of those people are
tightwads and dont want to spend any money for a nice van.  my friend is holding
firm on his price, i told him he should..
Terry, dont "spew" about something you know nothing about.

someone will end up with a nice van.

Terry, do you want me to explain my coolant pipe fiasco with the pipes i
bought from you??  i have refrained from that out of common courtesy..but it seems
you have none.

 its spewage like this that got you booted off the vanagon list in the first
place.
