Oil pressure sanity check

[Foggy]

I don't think you are too far off from normal 6.2 pressures
But definitely need those DOD holes plugged.. The valley cover will NOT
seal them.. There is oil seeping/pushing out from there for sure..
I think just doing that will put you where you should be

Good to hear. That would make sense because colder oil is thick, so the o-rings may be sufficient. When the oil is hot and slippery I can see it creeping by at low rpm. I just ordered some from LSXacceleration and selected UPS this time.

^^ I just recently ordered some injectors from them. One of the most under rated LSX shops out there. Great prices and stupid fast shipping

I have looked at some stuff on LSXceleration too... Haven't ordered anything,
but curious to see what others think of their products/services too

Anyone try to drop the pan like this guy does?

"Don't take this whole thing out, it's just too much work"
I like it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haven't HAD to do this yet , but i'm sure i will in the future...
On somebody's rig anyway
I'm thinkin about "while I'm in there" , I'll do a DOD delete cam AND
a 3.90 stroke 404 CI stroker LS3 to go under my supercharger... Yeah, that's the ticket

I am running 5w-30 castrol magnetec. I ran 0w-40 for a bit and that idled at around 22-24 psi. I think I will run that for summer or the magnetec 10w-30.

Just ordered the DOD plugs, for the 2nd time. My original package said "delivered" but I never got it. TSP never responded to me. Fedex didn't seem to give a shit. I hate doing chargebacks since I am also a retail business owner, so I may just eat it.

What he says makes sense. I think @Geotrash found he could do it this way on his ride.

 

[ls1frc]

Yeah paid $25 for the part and $15 to ship. It is what it is. They put the right address on it, so I am not going to make a big stink about it. It's really fedex's fault but they also don't give a shit.

Yeah, still kicking myself for not plugging that dumb thing but at least it's good to see dropping the pan doesn't require dropping the diff.

I doubt the relief valve causes issues at idle though. I probably don't even have any issues and I am just chasing ghosts.
