Well the time has come.  Our '85 westy is spewing oil from a valve stem
seal.  (I think)  Lost about 1 quart in 160 miles on the highway.  Most
ended up on the back of the van!!!  It must get blown up because the back
window was speckled.

Anyway, I am relocating from Darien, CT to Boston, MA and need to find a
good mechanic who can take a look at the van in Boston.

 I have 87,000 and am debating whether I should rebuild and have the heads
polished and ported, the crank balanced, better valves lifters etc or drop
in a 5 cylinder?   Can the AC be mounted with the 5 cyl?

Any and all guidance welcome!

PS there are a lot more westy's in MA than in CT!!!!!
