Subject:Engine pull on scale of 1 to 10
From:Rocket J Squirrel
Date:Mon, 13 Sep 2004 15:04:56 -0700

I have a 1971 bus. I have pulled the engine a few times to take care of
this and that.

I have also recently acquired a 1984 automatic Westy with no A/C. At
first glance, pulling its engine seems a bit harder. If, for example,
one wanted to pull the heads and check the gaskets. Some kind of
mechanical adventure like that.

So, on a scale 1 to 10, assuming that taking off the gas cap is a "1",
and pulling the 1971 bus's engine is a "5" -- how would you rate this
year/model Vanagon engine pull?
