Bev has about (odometer was "down" for about 5 tanksfuls) 172k with good power, good oil pressure, and no serious oil leaks. AFAIK, the DPO did not have the motor rebuilt, but got new head gaskets about 20k ago. Unfortunately, it seems they cheaped out and didn't get new heads or machine them since according to the last mechanic's report "the head gaskets are showing signs of wetness." We'll see. I figger I'll go for 1 more head gasket job and then see whether she's ready for a rebuild. -Karl ___________________________________________ Karl and Kristina Bloss - bloss@enter.net Trexlertown, PA http://www.enter.net/~bloss/vw '87 GL Weekender "Beverley"
