I recall the oil pressure issue you had as well.  Apparently he had the pump
out for some reason and used an incorrect gasket?  If you can do the spark
plugs, you can do a lot of the work of maintaining a Vanagon yourself, but
probably not in your barn in winter when it's below zero!

You do have a Bentley, don't you?

He about the 5 times that work was  previously  done and always comes back
