I have a GEX rebuld in my syncro.  This engine has shown all signs of
oil pressure problems from the the day I purchased the Van, with 10,000
miles on the engine.  It now has 74,000 mile on the engine with leaking
head gaskets. The installer created most of its problems.  Most people
would agree that GEX engine are not real great, but I have gotten my
moeny out of this one.
