A big hit for Willie Nelson, and also a happy event to be on the road again with our 1977 Volkswagen Transporter/Bus! We call her Lucy.

The test drives have been strong and smooth. Here is a brief description of what I did-
I am sure there is more that I have forgotten to list. This work took about 10 weeks, but the result is a smooth, strong engine. After about 50 miles I will recheck valve clearances, and after something like 300 miles I'll change out the oil and filter. Some photos and a video of the result are below. Lucy is now On The Road Again!
