Once you start modifying any of the components away from the factory design in your van you will discover that at least three other areas will be effected and it will cost more money and time to "fix".
The lower total mileage on your van is not a plus the age is the problem, one weeks time may barely be enuf time if you are just replacing the long block and transmission.
The type of "refresh" that you are trying to do only works if you the owner have the skills and equipment to be able to handle any of the warranty work once the help has left and believe me there will be plenty.
Very good advice ssonb. Hubby is the best at this kind of things been doing it all his life but he is also very limited physically.He works for a few hours then has to rest for a few hours or days if he does too much [ his disability is why I put up thread about making plans for getting old in rural area [ .
He can supervise and do most of lite work it just takes a little longer.
We still not sure what to do. Get in dept big time for new engine or try to fix it best we can IF WE CAN.
