Calling again for oil pressure data.  There are now five persons that
have reported in on their engines.  Would be good to have more for a better
representation.

From past postings................
    I'm posting this message again as I've received only two replies so far
from the original posting.  One of them was from someone with an OEM 2.1 motor.
 So, maybe it would be good to have more info like that for comparison.
So...to make it more interesting I would like responses from anyone with a 2.1
engine equipped with an oil pressure gauge.  Just make sure you designate what
engine your giving the specs for.  I will be posting the results as they come in
to a webpage I will create later today.  Goto my main page at
www.frankcondelli.com then to my "Mechanics" page and find the link to the "Vanagon 2.1
Engine Oil Pressure Survey"

      I am looking to gather some oil pressure information on Boston Bob's
Engines.  Would any of you who have a Boston Bob Engine please report on the oil
pressure of your engine, especially if you have a separate gauge installed.
I will publish these results when they are complete.

    Please fill in this report and send it to me by p-mail @ RAlanen@aol.com:
Do not flood the List with this info, I will publish the results when they
are complete.
