Ok so I am a rookie in the world of Vanagons.  Thanks to all who answered my
question about the air to water cooled conversion in my 82 Westy...it seems
obvious that the choice is to stay with the air cooled and enjoy its
uniqueness.
Now the point of this email...since I am a rookie any more tips on prolonging
the life of my aircooled engine?( if you have particular products that seem
best please let me know)  What is a good rapair manual to get?
Just getting all the listserve responses has really increased my excitement!
