Sorry guys for the delay sell not finding the problem but it seem to me the cam baring has moved from it place.

LME told me they haven't heard of lsx have this problem before, I will send the engine to them if the shipping cost is low.

Let's try having you explain your thinking instead. You said this:

I know in the normal LS Engines it's the Crank Journal that feeds it..
Pressure sensor is threaded into the top rear of the engine block, exposed to the oil passage at the rear of the engine. Said passage feeds pressurized oil to both the crank and cam on an LS1 block.

The "Crank Journal" whatever you're referring to is probably way down at the bottom of the engine block.

So...two questions for you:

1.) What exactly is "the Crank Journal" by your definition?

2.) How exactly is the "Crank Journal" feeding the pressure sensor gauge?

Lol..again you reply to my question with a question of bullshit..

Tell ya what..I'll look at a Block and figure out what I said wrong, more than likely I may have what I said confused with a SBC.

Besides, doin it that way I hopefully won't run into anyone being a super douche about it..

It takes real talent to accuse somebody of douchery while introducing profanity to the discussion.

The guy's just trying to diagnose a problem and you're throwing bad info at him. That merits a calling out.

So here's a diagram of the LS1 oiling system and how about you point out where "the Crank Journal" (whatever that is) is "feeding" the oil pressure sensor:

Outstanding..thanks for clarifying it.

Not everyone is perfect..we are all learning here. It's just nicer to see something explained when it's wrong than a bunch of crap of how it's just wrong..

Took me all of 2 minutes and one beer chug to Google "LS1 oil system" and find that diagram. Probably would have been faster for you to do this than to post what you did...

Just sayin'.

Yep that settled it LOL. Pressure sensor is feed by a oil gallery port in the block.

Yup, and a loss of restriction at any of several points...lifter, cam bearing, main or rod bearing...will drop the measured oil pressure.

Good thing the guy noticed it and pulled the engine!

Listen *******..since you want to carry on bout this ****..

I went off of what I thought I knew. Obviously I was wrong. The nice thing that you could've done was to be like "hey man..your info isn't right..it's actually like this.." and then make your post. Everything would've been kosher, life would've been good. I had actually found that Diagram aswell, I was just pullin your bullshit flag to see if you would back up what you said. You BS'd around it for a sec but eventually your nuts dropped and you pulled through. Congradulations.

But since you wanted to be a **** about it..here's your cookie for proving someone wrong..



If you want any kind of other gratification I'm sure it can be arranged.

Now go back to your Warcraft and have a nice day sunshine.

US Army from '88-93 as a 91A medic, 12B armor officer, and then 12C cavalry officer.

You're not right very often, are you?

In my experience the guys who talked the most smack were usually motorpool paper-pushers.
