ls oiling system i was curious if there was a diagram of the oiling system on ls1's or any ls/lq engines i could see? I'm curious to know how it all works, even a sbc would be informative.

oil system I found this, hope it helps :
"Oil distribution has changed significantly from that of the Small-Block because of: 1) the front pump, rear filter arrangement (the old engine had both at the back) and 2) the LS1's main oil galley feeding the main bearings and the camshaft simultaneously (the Small-Block main galley fed the cam bearings first, then the mains). John Juriga tells us that the Gen I/II oiling system was very reliable and that the change in oil routing in the new engine came mainly out of manufacturing concerns"
