1989 Nissan 240SX 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual
----------------------------------------------------------------
my question is... I have a nissan 240 89'... and driving one day the timing chain guide broke and shattered down into the oil pan... I bought a new timing chain, tensioner, guides, and even a new oil pump and cleaned out the oil pan...but yet when i start the car i get no oil pressure and the hydraulic tensioner gets no pressure to hold the timing chain tight, and there is no oil coming out the galleries at the camshaft... any suggestions would help me greatly!!!

sounds like your oil pump is no good, check the drive gear for it, make sure it turns freely, and isnt scored up.
