I am in the middle of a complete rebuild... And AS with all I have done I have
come across yet another problem that I am not willing to pay alot for and I
need some advice from my friends here at Vanagon.com. Here's the deal, 81
vsanagon. found it in a junk yard engine and tranny intact as well as a full
exhaust system, wha who!!!  I got the whole Van for 100$ Istripped it and
returned the empty hull. So anyway Iam all the way down to the case and I go
to clean up the whole thing, and the heads. As I am pulling out the valves one
of the valve seats well out like a loose ring on a skinny finger. my first
thought was *son of a!!!!  then I got to reading in 'automotion' magazine and
I found a place in cali that will re-furb the head for me, but I want to do it
myself... Any Suggestions???/
