Problem Solved
replaced all timing components and still had a loss of oil pressure after warm up. Pulled pan and found 2 inches of sludge in bottom of oil pan. replaced pick up screen and cleaned out pan. Must use synthetic oil and the right kind of oil.

Thanks for the feedback of your own thread. To many times people fail to put a finish to their own problem. Sorry there wasn't any hits on the original thread. Hang in there and good luck.

Synthetic oil buys you nothing but a lighter wallet. Sludge is caused from excess moisture in the engine usually from driving short trips or trips where the engine is not allowed to run at full temp for at least 30 minutes. It can also be caused by a defective PCV system. Most often you can tell about sludge by looking at the oil fill cap. If it has a yellow substance on it- that's sludge starting to build. You might consider using Auto-Rx once a year to clean the engine out if the PCV is functioning correctly. Using the right viscosity is a no brainer.
