I have never seen a cammed 6. I have a mate desperate to do it. What sort of power increase did you see. What does it sound like. I can't imagine it

Yeah it was his recommendation of 10w40. He called it super slow oil. Temp reading is from the systems menu. It has never reached over just a smidge above half on the needle. 100° isn't that excessive if you think about combustion is at around 4-500°

And this

While I'm at it. Does anyone know if this setup is right for the breathers

Yeah thinking maybe just a little too warm and thinning out the oil

She's a cammed LS1 with otr and headers. Ground crank, polished heads. Not sure on what cam but she is lumpy. Used to her getting hot fast. I've had her about 4 years.

So just had the car running. Still waiting on a scanner but I have noticed it happens at 110° Gonna stick some concentrate coolant in and see how that goes. In my opinion the colour could be a little darker

Maybe not that quick but pretty quick lol

She gets up pretty quick. Only 5 minutes driving and she's about 80-90. But yeah 104 in my driveway and lights. Could that be an issue. Needle never goes above half. I think I need to add more coolant to my mix. She does run quite warm but never overheating

So confused. Just ran the car down the shops and back. Up to 104° and nothing. No warnings. None at idle. None on hill. None driving. Really can't wait to get a reading on this oil pressure

Yeah waiting on a mate to drop by with an OBD2. I will let you know how I go. I was just looking and it's probably a long shot, but could a faulty battery cause a faulty reading

****. That looks difficult. But still better than full removal. Either way I reckon that guy should replace his sump anyway. Looked cracked in several places

Time to play with thicknesses then

Ok I will have to leave it blanked. My driver's side only has on vent pipe. I have seen the setup where the join together but mine is different

Ok so my passenger one is blanked off that's ok is it or should I leave it open

Will do thanks. I will get back to you. Could wrongly plumbed vacuum/rocker cover vent cause this issue

I think I only put 10w40 in her as per specs. Maybe I will try add some Morey's stabilizer or even changing the oil for something thicker

Th thanks mate

One more thing, it doesn't do it at all when it's cold. Temp gets to 108°

Ez thanks

Can I user a higher viscosity oil. Or run a bigger oil pump. Or is it just done now and need to be pulled apart again. Is it safe to drive.

Yeah was within reason. I can't remember the clearance off hand. I was told by an older mechanic it was on the high end of acceptable. Why could that cause a problem. Would I be able to rectify that

Crank and bearings not pump. And polished caps

Don't have a scan tool on me. Waiting to see a mate over the weekend. Just original standard oil pump. She idols at around 980rpm and that seems to set it off. Doesn't take much to stop it. Just a feather foot for about 5 seconds to just over 1000rpm. Could it be air

I think I will truely cry if I have to rip the engine out again. It will be the third time this year. There is no way to check the pickup on this damn b*#+h with the stupid sump setup with engine still in

Yeah oring was correct and I'm hopeful it went in correctly. No real way to tell now. What should my oil pressure be. It only seems to drop it idol. Before it was constant. I have no other signs of a bad oil pump. It seems to want to come on when it's parked on a hill or when swoshback from...

What could cause that.

Hey I need some help. I just recently rebuilt the bottom end in my LS1 VY Berlina. Since the rebuild my check oil warning keeps beeping at me. First I thought it was the oil pressure switch. I replaced it, no change. Then I thought perhaps too much oil, that seemed to help it but now my problem...

Thanks I will try that this weekend hopefully. Weather permitting

Yeah I can definitely feel it but just as much from the inlet manifold. And it doesn't seem to be miss firing. I would've thought if it was something like that It wouldn't run right

***had the car 3 years and done 5000kms****

Look I'm not exactly sure. I have had the car 3 Yeats and only done 5k in that time. When I bought it the water pump was the only thing that looked new on the engine. But that doesn't exactly answer the question. It does feel hot but never goes above half on the gauge. But does sit consistently...

Morning all. So I have a cammed LS1 in my VY Berlina. I had battery issues last week and well I hope that was the case. I got a battery for it last night and it started. At first it was bit of a pig, but after a minute or 2 of reving and idling it seemed to come good. I had put some injector...

I have another video

The sound at around 40 seconds in

Update. So I have a loose starter motor shield. I wish it were just that but... there is a smell, maybe plastic and possibly smoke coming from starter motor. All points to starter motor, but noise is at top of engine. Almost coming through plastic air intake

Nah got it up to temp still sounds same. Sounds like a rattling noise on top of engine. Could it be a pull maybe power steering or ac

From what I have read that can only damage tank lining. Usually over time

Stp
