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?

I suppose if the gaskets were leaking, I'd consider going through with it
now, but there aren't any leaks (yet).  I'd like to wait as long as
possible, install an oil pressure gauge, save up some money, and get a nice
rebuilt engine when I really need one.   Thanks, John 91 Westy
