    Well,finally after a month of very cold weather i finally got the GS up and running again thank god it warmed up ,i replaced timing chain,Oil Pump,fuel pump,finally got it fired up today,oil pressure steady at 45lbs,excellent i am so happy,the outcome of the no oil pressure was this,i guess after the years the timing chain teeth that has the nylon coating got briddle and all of the nylon was in the oil pan and clogged up the screen and wouldnt let the oil come up,it was alot of that stuff in there,so cleaned everything up,got new oil pump to be on the safe side and new timing chain,and fired her up today and was perfect thank god.


    Thanks

    Good going George it sure has been brutally cold.
    Are you getting 45 psi at idle? What type of timing gears and chain did you go back together with. Did you get your parts from Carmen?
