Oil Pan/Oil flow route question
OK guys, have a question about the direction of oil and how it flows through the motor. Mu block is at the mchine shop, and I just got a oil pan (98-02 FBody) the other day and was cleaning it up and was looking at the fitting/plate next to the filter screw on. It has what appears to be an in/out holes on topside of the pan rail. When you take the 2 bolts off the plate and remove it, it is just a passage for the oil to go from 1 hole to the next. Also, on top of this plate, there is a part of it that sticks up, with a hole, that does not go all the way through. What is that for? And more specifically, does anyone have a routing of oil circulation on our blocks (6.0 truck if it matters). Also, inside the pan rail itslef, those 2 holes, have casting flash. Should I debur it, smooth the transition?
Thanks guys

Ah ha! Cool, thanks! Yeah, this is my first go round with LS stuff. Coming over from the Ford camp, and still getting familiar with this LS family, thanks!
Now, does anybody have the oil path/circulation route of oil? Does it feed mains first? Thanks
