Try a search on the type2 archives. The archives are at: http://vw.i405.com/
These archives contain all the traffic from the original vanagon list as well
as posts from the type2 list following the split.

I've been on these lists (vanagon, type2, vintagebus) since '94 and have never
seen a "good" report on a GEX rebuild.  Mostly there are horror stories of
failed engines at around 10k miles.  $100 per 1k miles? Not a good buy IMHO.
Repeated tales of failure to honor warranty.  It's not slander.  Just the
truth.
