Subject:How long to do a valve job and replace the seats?
From:1980 VW Westfalia \"Pokey\"
Date:Wed, 27 Sep 2000 11:01:06 -0400
I have 187,000 KM / 115,000 miles on my air-cooled and I'm thinking about
pro-actively doing a valve job, replacing the valve seats, and replacing the
valve cover gaskets while I'm at it. How long should this take? Should I
just wait until 150,000 miles or is it worth doing now? Pokey is going away
for the winter shortly is it better to wait until spring?

Thanks,
