I found a shop in Severna Park, MD run by a guy who posts on the Samba with
the handle vwjoe@compuserve.com . He appears to be able to rebuild the 1.9
and 2.1's at very reasonable prices. That's close enough for me to travel
and either bring the core or the entire van when it's new engine time.  Has
anybody out there ever installed one of his engines? What'd you think?

Thanks,
Bryan
