If you do decide you need a rebuild, try http://www.suburbanengine.com/
though he may not be doing 1.9's anymore.

Thanks,

Subject: New Engine Wanted: 85 Vanagon

I know there is probably a mountain of info on this digest about
acquiring a new engine.

I think my engine is slowly dying.  Doesn't seem to have the nearly the
pep it had just a few years ago.

My mechanic in Huntsville is leery of the rebuild engines for sale from
Vanagon part suppliers.

Who supplies a reliable engine for my 85 Vanagon?
