        A bad oil pressure relief valve is a fairly serious problem.
I think it is worth your effort to fix it.  Generally they can be 
removed from the engine w/o difficulty.  A good cleaning is usually
all that is necessary.  The thing that concerns me is why the 
valve is not working in the first place.  It might be indicating
something more serious (wrong oil, clogged system).  I've seen engines
fail because the oil system got clogged with old oil goop.
