Hi all

Here is the Poo!

82 Westi with stock motor. 2.0L Air Cooled
Been in storage for 3-5 years.
Had no spark.
Swaped points spark is good.

Everything is complete and ran when stored.

Started up with just set of points.
Lots of Noises Valves etc. Etc.

let run for 30- 40 min. Drove up the drive and back a few times,
Brakes would not allow a long drive.

Idle and strong power and very little smoke, ALL the noises went
away. Sounded like a winner.

let sit after stopping the motor to play with the sliding door that
would not let go.
Got the slider to work just fine.

Decided to start the Vanagon just for fun to hear it purr. (really it
ran absolutely Perfect)

Motor would turn and acted like No Compression at all no fire just
spin with the starter.

Acts like No compression and spins free. No Idea. Did the lifters
overcharge and the valves are just floating??

Very weird.

Did not look deep. Just spun like no pistons were connected to the crank.

Any one, Any one Bueller???
