I had one on my '83 Westy, did no good whatsoever when the waterjacket
problem developed. I have heard that the best thing to do is put the same
amount in an interest yielding bank account and let the money grow until
you have a problem. If you bought a good van, any problems that come up out
of factory warranty should be paid by the account, or at least a good sized
chunk of it.
