This has more or less been the plan, and at very least the engine will
serve to keep the bus mobile, but no more long trips in it. Even if I
found a loose head nut(s) and re torqued it.

In as much as I see more used WBX engines on craigslist et al, blowing
the motor while far away from home would suck. And, if it serves as a
core for someone else, would rather keep it that way. i.e. not blow it
up.    ;)    LOL.
