I did search the archives, but it seems most of the posts talked about GEX in California not Arkansas, and mostly air cooled.
But fore-warned is fore-armed, so I'll alert the shop manager to expect the worst. �Maybe cancel if he can.
Thanks, Anthony

Anthony,

You might want to Google the words "GEX Vanagon" and read for yourself.

Avoid the GEX sites but rather look at the ones from places like the List archives and TheSamba. You might find that the recommendations are not exactly glowing.;-)
