Robert Lilley's solution which sounds good, is also expensive in Cdn.
dollars. In my case, not being an acomplished technician, no tools to
speak of, the job would have to go to a shop. Minimum $7000.00 Cdn. plus
the down time. The van is a mobile office, so a daily driver. The 2.0L
I4 conversion will cost me 3500. to 4000. Cdn. with minimal down time.
My .028 Cdn. worth.
