Hi all,

I used to subscribe to this list but don't have the
time anymore to follow up on it regularly. Hope all is
well and Herr Doktor is not giving everyone too much
of a hard time.
I swapped to Subie power and have some things for
sale. This is also listed on thesamba.com if you'd
like to see pics. I also have pics of leak down test:

Please p-mail as I do not intend on subscribing to
this list for very  long.

Did Subie conversion: Have for cheap in Los Angeles:
1.9l WBX, rebuilt by shop 2 years ago with new AMC
heads. ,5% leak down on pass side cylinders, ~80% leak
down on drivers cyl. Was going about 80mph last year
in AZ desert and power suddenly disappeared for 2
seconds, then came back to about 70% of normal hp.
This might just be a lifter issue, you figure it out.
Still ran in Nov 04 (70%) before conversion. Slight
clicking, like when lifters aren't pumped fully. Also:
Practically new AFM (~4000 miles)  BOSCH from Bus
Depot ($$$$) sell for $$. Also got the wiring harness
with coil, idle control, 2 ECU (both tried and true),
fuel pump relays, etc. COOLING HOSES!!! J-exhaust
pipe, spark plug wires (Autolite) and cap, spare
Alternator and AC compressor. All except AC comp were
either rebuilt or replaced new 2 years ago. Prefer
pick up, will not ship engine. Might sell heads
separately. Drove Vanagon maybe 8000 miles after last
rebuild.

Keep On Trucking!!!

CJ
