Thank you to all and especially to the list members who came to my aid
after I had a stuck intake valve on the #1 cylinder of the 1.9L engine
in my 84 Vanagon.  After the head was rebuilt and put back on in Daytona
Beach, FL, several other problems surfaced on the way back to Georgia.

Now after have timing set to around where it should be, a new, but
faulty plugwire replaced, idle set, including getting the override
spring back on the pushrod, the van ran reasonable well on several trips
long the neighborhood streets.  I have O2-sensor disconnected as
apparently that "died" after driving 200+ miles with no spark to the #1
plug.

If nothing else, my Son, age 13, has gotten a lesson on how and how not
to troubleshoot a Vanagon engine.  I let him back the van out of the
garage after we had everything back together.

John
