Sooo there goes the compression Sad looks like it's time for a rebuild! Problem is I just moved into an apartment and have no space (garage) to do the rebuild myself.

Anyone know a guy/shop that will do a rebuild of an AC 83' Vanagon engine in Los Angeles, Ca.

Thanks in advance for your help

Two options... Bella's Auto in Burbank, or Gary Betz in Ventura.... Gary does a lot of air cooled rebuilds for the Porsche crowd..

I'm in the same boat, almost no compression. Did you get a rebuild done and if so how did it go?
