Jim,
Thanks! .. at least that's a start.
I already have the Van in my front yard...It's just a matter of: If I want it, or not. In other words...Is it worth my while to replace the headgaskets and sell it to recoup my money. The owner doesn't recall if it burned alot of oil...She remembers having to add it, but it sounds as if she didn't have to constantly add it, so this could be good news as far as the seals are concerned. -thanks again,

-Larry
