Subject:another diesel question
From:Jim Henry
Date:Sat, 9 Jun 2001 17:20:17 -0400

This sort of goes with the long distance purchasing tread, but has
many of you have had to put up with and have offered contributions
(thanks to all so far) to my efforts to buy a camper in the
northwest later this month, another question has come up.

What are the differences between a car diesel (1.6l) and a vanagon
diesel (1.6l). Are there differences in compression. Bentley says
406 psi is minimum compression. Are there methods that would
produce lower results that would be appropriate? Any concerns
about a car diesel being substituted for a vanagon diesel (It was
done by professionals). Any other bits of wisdom?

Thanks again.

Jim
