Subject:Bostig Engine Installation 85 Vanagon
From:Jon Durham

I've decided to have someone install a Bostig in my 85 Vanagon. If I
understood Jim Akiba at the MA shop, they no longer install the engine.
A firm in Seattle does. I can't do it myself.

I live in northern Alabama. I will transport the bus to and from an
installer, so Seattle is a bit far away.

I feel uneasy finding a 3rd party to install the engine because if
something goes wrong, I'm afraid folks will be pointing figures at each
other. So I'd like to find an entity who will assume total
responsibility installing the engine, and if necessary, coordinate with
the Boston shop if problems arise. Would I be asking too much?

My other option is to get my mechanic in Huntsville AL to install it.
How difficult is it to install this engine?

Meanwhile, have a great Memorial Day.
