I read a report that suggests the 2.1 engine starts to wear out real fast after 150000 miles. The report gives ananlysis details which include the use of an oil pressure gauge. To make a long story short, my engine has a bad coolant leak from a head gasket. I am installing an oil pressure gauge. If the situation looks bad, I shall think seriously of having the engine rebuilt or swapping. If I swap, what other engines are available for the vanagon that will fit and give a longer life than 150000 miles? Earl
