Maybe it's just been a while and my memory and hatred tward the engine problems have softened. If I had not figured it out I would not recommend the engine. I would give the engine a 7 out of 10. If the head torquing never got corrected the engine would just eat itself up. Yes correct assmbly of the engine is critical. It seems they may not have correctly tightened the heads. -- Blake Heinlein 1984 Westfalia Sacramento, CA http://www.home.surewest.net/heinlein
