There is a way around that...  If you use Evans coolant, corrosion is no 
longer an issue, as there is no water used with that coolant.  It is expensive 
($25.00 a gal), but it is cheaper than a head job (no, that is -not- what I 
meant). :-)

Also, for those that are not interested in that approach, Fast German Auto 
sells sacrificial anodes that are supposed to corrode -instead- of the heads.  
Much cheaper at IIRC 25.00 a pair, one for each head, but I cannot vouch for 
their ability...  BTW, Fast German has headers (yes, really) for the Vanagon, 
among other things for the Vanagon...
