Thanks to the list, I can now live in paranoia, just waiting for things
like...
1. White steamy exhaust and disappearing coolant from the overflow tank
and
2. a strong gasoline odor in the van after each fill-up
Am I looking at a head gasket replacement, and is it time to replace all my
fuel lines? I have an 84 westfalia, @80,000 miles. About how much to do the
head gasket? What's involved? Are there "partial" jobs that are less
expensive?
I plan on doing the fuel line replacement this spring. Does anyone sell a
complete kit, or do I need to purchase hose and clamps a la carte?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
