Subject:      Oil pressure readings
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com

Got the oil pressure measured on my '87 Westy. These numbers
are at operating temperature with the van stationary.
Not sure if they indicate needing a
rebuild now or not. Opinions welcome. My guideline is that if
I can't go another 20K miles without risk of mechanical
failure due to the low oil pressure, I need the rebuild now.

Thanks!
