Re: New shorty conversion! Road trip anyone?
Thanks for sending the manual.

Bus seems to be running on 7 cylinders. There's always been a "knocking" present. How would I go about diagnosing the problem? Checking the compression of each cylinder, spark plugs? What else could...

What does everyone use to remove old, rusty and expanded screws? Should a standard extractor bit from Lowes work? What's the best method to removing them? Because I have a lot to take out!
