all,

I love my 85GL 1.9l sure it has its momets, leaky head heck I'll just
make sure it does'nt get worse or warp the heads. But I have faith in
my VW motor loving every mile I drive. and if something happens thats life

!!rebuild it!!

my 1.9 is little sure, but it takes me all over the place. pushing
70ish in 80+ heat.  BTW it loves the heat, maybe its like its aircooled
cuz'n. :)  ** always giving it rest if needed ** pull over

Joe

It seems that if a person is going to spend $4K to $5K on the Subie
conversion and end up with a 100K mile motor , that the Tiico conversion
would be a lot better choice.

    Why on earth would I want to put a Subaru engine in my Vanagon?  I can
have
    everything it offers, and so much more, by using VW parts.

    It's a rhetorical question.  No need to answer.

  why?  hmmm   reliability?     what does the leaky vw wasserpisser offer?
  headaches and a empty wallet...and so much more (headaches)  :<)
  it is rhetorical.. the subaru engine is a smarter choice..   if you can do
  the conversion, its well worth it.    no need to answer :<)
