To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tuesday, July 8, 2008, 9:58 PM I towed my Bus home. I'm using a mechanic that only works on aircooled VWs. I'm going to order replacement parts from Gene Berg. I have an old long block that was working last time it was in the Bus so hopefully he can throw that in for now so that I have a ride soon.

If it's still in DFW get it over to Qualitat in Grand Prarie. -----Original Message----- From: julie.hey.ho.lets.go@xxxxxxxxx Sent: Jul 8, 2008 7:27 PM To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Oh no! It's bad news for Donner. The mechanic says that his engine was doomed because of faulty stuff, there's only 27,000 miles on this engine. The lifters were too soft. They are in bad shape and some of the heads have snapped off. And he'll need a new cam as well.
