I don't know about the other Jeff, but I don't have 30 more years to live!  (Nor would I want to.)

Let's see if you get 30 years out of the conversion... ;-)

Cheers,

Convert to a Subaru or Bostig.  Nice Christmas present for the Van!

I've posted here before that my right cylinder head weeps coolant on very cold nights in winter. It has done this for 10 years! It was always a tiny amount, maybe a quarter size spot. Since the wife left, the Vanagon has had the garage. I drive the Vanagon at least once a week, usually more. Drove it last Sunday. Also on Sunday my motorcycle (Honda Valkyrie) wouldn't start, so last night I moved the Vanagon out so I could bring the bike in-after doing so I found a HUGE puddle of coolant on the floor. <SIGH> Not 100% sure yet its the head, but a good bet. I knew the day was coming, at least it wasn't hundreds of miles from home!
