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!

Subject: Well, I had a Good Run...

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!
