Wow, after reading this no wonder so many Vanagons have undergone engine

Dreams can come true it can happen to you But
Finding a good used 1.9 head  OEM wont happen
You are much better off with the AMC head if its is a 1.9 head
The OEM castings are so poor that they crack and recrack never mind the
pitting
have the AMC head looked over and see if its fixable. Most AMC heads fail at
the stem not the valve seat and they never crack to the point that they leak
coolant into the exhaust or intake ports
send it to me and I can inspect, rebuild and send it back ready to rock and
roll
