No, but I have big veins and there's a plasma center nearby.  Actually, I'm
getting a lot of spares with the van, I hope they address some of the needs.
It only has 84k and the engine going in will have 60k and be resealed.  Once
I find another head, I'll have a second engine with 84k in reserve.  I hope
that's a good start....

about procedures or about someone's behavior, please speak to either or both
of us.  We believe you're entitled to civility and also responsible to be
civil here, and this is a family list covering at least four generations so
we keep the language clean.  There are some folks here who know quite a bit
about air-cooled Vanagons, and of course there's much that's common to all
Vanagons; so I hope we can help you out as needed and that you'll feel part
of a community.  Topics are technical and community/usage related to
T3/Transporter/Vanagon; OT discussions allowed on Fridays.  Coarseness is
always out of bounds and we do not discuss politics or religion.  The list
is worldwide, but the great bulk of the members live in the US and Canada.
Again, welcome.
