    BAD OIL PUMP?


    Hi group:
    I recently bought a 1991 535 i with 145,000 miles on it,the car runs
    beautifully with plenty of power.However,a couple of weeks ago I
    noticed that the "oil can icon" on the dash takes a lot of time going
    out after I start the car,on Monday I got a message on the display:
    "check engine oil pressure",I have taken it to the local BMW mechanic
    twice and they claim they cannot replicate the message.They it is
    possible that there is a "bad pressure switch"triggering the code.
    Now,I don't want to take a chance and blow the engine,should I assume
    that with this mileage it's time to replace the oil pump??Also,while
    I'm at it can anybody tell me the socket size to rotate the
    cranckshaft in order to adjust the valves?Does this particular year
    model need to have the valves adjusted at all??,Thanks in advance.
