My  mechanic has told me that I need to replace/rebuild my '91 engine with
130k  miles soon because the oil pressure is running at 27lbs at 2000 rpm
hot,  when 29 lbs is the minimum.  In my research in the archives,  his
suggestion to replace/rebuild and his "minimum" pressure reading at  2000
rpm doesn't seem right.  He's a mechanic that's well respected on  the list,
so I won't mention his name yet, since he's always done good work  for me.
Does his suggestion seem off base?

See my _Vanagon 2.1 Engine Oil Pressure  Survey_
