Subject:Engine: To Replace or Not To Replace. 85 Vanagon

My engine's got just over 200,000 miles. As I mentioned earlier, seems
as though she has gradually lost power the last few years.

In terms of miles, what's the life expectancy of a 1.9L? Is there much
power difference between a 1.9L and a 2.1L?

I'm thinking why not just replace the engine now rather than waiting til
she blows which could be tomorrow or 3 years years from now.

What are peoples' opinions?
