From Michael Durkin on the FB Vanagon Owners group:

>Ok, so I definitely have a high oil pressure problem. Its
>consistently running at 60 psi. It's always ran at 10-30 psi
>depending on rpms. This has been confirmed with a manual gauge ran
>from the oil pressure switch manifold. I pulled the oil pressure
>regulator assembly and cleaned the hell out of it. Also changed the
>oil and filter (again). I just had the van at the mechanic getting
>new heads, gaskets, and a few other things done. When I picked it
>up, there was no white smoke coming from the tailpipe anymore (there
>was a cloud behind me before the heads). Now the white smoke is
>back. Anybody have a clue what is going on with my van? 1987 GL auto 2.1 WBX.
