Need help for my lt1
Im in need of help for my lt1! We just got together my new motor and I started it there was a constant leak from the rear main seal so I pulled the tranny and put a new one in. It did ok for a little while but now its the same way! Also my car has been holding around 55lbs of oil pressure at idle 60 at cruise speed and it is going up 70 to 80lbs when you get on it! Is this whats wrong with the rear seal? I have about had it with this car nad I dont know what else to do with it!

did you install the 97 style rear main seal or the older style? you have to be carefull installing it, if its not evenly installed it will leak.

It's possible that the RMS 'housing' is tweaked, and you just need a new one.
This is the housing I'm talking about (which I'm sure you know from changing the seal out)

And we're 100% sure it's the seal and not the oil pan?
