One more to add would be the Wagon Shop in Bellevue.  No need to pull
the engine to do this job.  I had the oil light issue after picking up
my Westy in Denver and driving back to Seattle due to the dealer's
mechanic using too light of weight.  Switching to 50wt as I do in all of
my VW's fixed it for good.

You know, I've been so busy lately that I had entirely missed the fact
that the oil pressure issue seemed to have begun after  the oil change -
I don't htink I payed attention this time with the new oil change shop
and weight - I think I'll work on that today as the coolant is holding
steady and I read through the archives again on oil weight and
filters...

I have a list of local mechanics - Petersons in Port Angeles, Louis in
Seattle, Harmony in Bellingham,  Import Auto in Seattle, Rudi's in Port
Townsend - any others to add (or ideas on these)?

The debate rages on - if you are going to do one head gasket do thhe
other, if you are going to pull the engine....it's worth it...you don't
have to pull the engine....of course you can do just one! Get a rebuild,
a Tiico, a Subaru, a new car...
