The engine in my 1968 bus is I believe a goner. I am going to rebuild it. Does anyone have a place to get the parts in a kit? I saw one on Ebay which includes most of the parts, (crankshaft, pistons, bearings,) and all of the rest for $454 plus shipping. The ad says that it comes with either Mahle pistons or China made ones. Does this sound like a good deal or should I look elsewhere? The reason being is my main seal has been leaking and I have tried to fix it 4 times to no avail. I think the endplay is probably way too much so, a rebuild may solve this problem. The engine was rebuilt once already about 20 years ago professionally but I have never rebuilt it myself, do you think I can do it? I have the idiots guide to work with and my friends say that it is not that hard to do. What do you think? Thanks for any help, Charles
