Now, if  someone else could come up with head gaskets that won't leak,
we'll be set.  ;)

This has been done.  If the directions written  on my_VW Vanagon waterboxer
head & gasket repair_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/gasket.htm)  webpage are
followed the head gaskets will not ever  leak again.  I have never had a head
gasket leak once I installed it this  way.  Not my solution by the way.  The
credit goes to Tim Smith in New  Brunswick, long time ex-member of the Vanagon
List.
