So I finally listed my VW bus on craigslist...

Yeppers, free. But I've stripped it.

Now my inbox is flooded! I really didn't expect much response since the thing is nearly useless with all the stuff stripped off.

Now to scrounge $400 for the 78 I'm getting! WooHoo! Fuel injection! And Avocado Green!


(Oh, wait. Ugly arse color. Ahh, well. Can't have everything...)

Update: First person to show up wanted me to hold it. ARRGGHHH!!!

The friggin ad said it had to be tonight or tomorrow morning. NOT whenever you can find a place to put it.

Does the 78 have hydraulic valves?

I don't want to do valve adjusts on my next one.

Yeppers.

Btlmex used to sell 1600's with hydraulics. aircooled.net sells "racing hydraulic lifters" whatever the fsck that is. If I was racing, I'd use solids.

Jake Raby won't touch hydraulics. I think he's afraid of them because the failure rate on new ones is rather high. Not worth the risk to him.

BTW: You still have to adjust the valves, just not as often.
