Re: Austin's 1977 Tintop Camper
Can't believe it's been so long since I've posted an update. I think I only drove the bus a handful of times in 2019, hope to bring it out more this year. Since my last update, I replaced one cylinder head, fixed the exhaust leaks, and the lean issue. I think I did all of that during summer 2019. Wi...

Re: Austin's 1977 Tintop Camper
A few updates: I installed a leisure battery and a split charge relay, then wired the leisure battery to its own fuse panel. I also installed a 12 volt plug in an existing hole in the dash. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1786772.jpg This allowed me to run 12v LED lights, and a fan at night....

Re: Austin's 1977 Tintop Camper
Hopefully the struggle bus and I will be at this months third Thursday. It has really been a long winter. I have been very sick, and I've spent a lot of time in the hospital. I got to take the bus out in March, but it broke down in the middle of an intersection on the way to a doctor's appointment. ...

Re: Austin's 1977 Tintop Camper
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and I wish you all a happy Christmas. I've only had the bus out twice since Kelley's Island, and haven't worked on it at all. I still have a couple vacuum leaks to fix, and some oil leaks to ignore. Aurora wanted to have fall pictures taken, and I managed to g...

Re: Austin's 1977 Tintop Camper
It was a couple of small vacuum leaks that appeared. I found them with my smoke machine. Everything is good now. I replaced my leaky pushrod tube seal (replaced both o-rings, but it was only the case side leaking). Then oil started spraying out of the valve cover onto the f pipe creating a ton of sm...
