Subject:Engine Conversion Controversy
From:J Stewart

Well, I went and did it, I've been on this list long enough to  know better about posting stuff like this! I was just so excited to find some of the diesel bits I needed I just had to post it. I didn't mean to start a debate on which conversion is easiest/best/cheapest, etc. FWIW, I've seen Subaru, Bostig, and VW conversions and all looked great, and I'm sure they are all good. Like I said, my old 1.9 is running great, weeping a bit from the right head, but running so good unless it grenades it will be there for at least a couple more months-at least til the end of camping season here in the mid Atlantic states. So again, sorry to have brought up such a controversial topic. Now, I also need new tires, what should I get? Oh, and I need an oil change, which oil is best? And a coolant flush, can I use the green or orange stuff? Just kidding folks! Have a swell Monday!!
