I was under the impression that Xena had hardened valves installed long ago. The 190psi isn't terrible, but take a flashlight and look at the piston top and see if it is carboned up a lot.

If the valves were off by .001 then I think that is quite reasonable.

Nope, never used oil, just drips from the RMS.

The oil pressure is quite high until warmed up when it drops into the 30's with 10W30.

Have you sealed that space between the steering column and the firewall?
