I will be taking my recently purchased '84 Westy on an 8,000 mile trip this summer. Any suggestions on problem areas to check out before I go? I have just replaced the heads, water pump, thermostat, belts, clutch, pressure plate, release bearing, and pilot bearing, flushed the cooling system, and taken a good look at anything that I have touched in the process. I have also inspected the brakes for wear and leaks, and will buy new tires before the trip. The PO repacked the wheel bearings and replaced the fuel pump within the last two years, or so. Bill
