GEX remanufactured heads I purchased from them for my vanagon NEEDED a complete rebuild after ONLY 20K miles (just beyond their stated warranty of 15K miles). I have since sold the vanagon, and the new owner tells me that the flywheel just shatered. Note: That I did a complete rebuild of this vanagon a few years back, using new/remanufactured parts almost exclusively from GEX. Although, they were quick to deliver parts, and were even better at correcting shipping mistakes, I have not been happy with the quality of their remanufactured goods. My $0.02 Chris San Diego 73 Sqbk (in for a rebuild, NO GEX parts!)
