Subject:      update on oil pressure woes
Content-Type: text/plain

Well I took the van in this morning to get an idea on how much actual
oil pressure I had.  Not good.  Only about .10 bar.  It should be
between .15-.45 bar.  He said he could hear the bearings too.  So I
got home pulled the engine, and split the case.  There was some
definite wear on the cam bearings.  I'm taking the case, the crank,
and the cam to a machine shop to be cleaned and checked and then
I'm buying new bearings and putting it back together.
