I recently swapped my LY6 oil pan for a F-body pan and noticed the pressure relief valve. I assume this valve is needed to maintain a max pressure for the VVT system.


I would like to know for sure if I need to drill and tap my new pan for this valve. I am betting I should.


thanks,

Jim, sorry I can't help, but I am interested to know what you are talking about. Is this something mounted inside of pan? Can you post pictures or links to info?

Here is the link from the Gen IV internal with a pic.

I just got off the phone with the tech line at MAST MOTORSPORTS. I asked him if its needed for the VVT and he didn't know and thought I was referring to the oil level sensor. Once he came back, he said it was just a pressure relief valve (which we all know all ready)

I would think (hope) he would relay that it was on a VVT engine when he asked someone within the right department. Lets hope its the correct answer.

AFAIK that is an oil filter bypass. If the filter becomes plugged it allows oil to bypass it.
edit: It has nothing to do with VVT.
