Bravo! Sounds like a runner to me. Looks like you've got some loose ends to tie up, but that engine looks phenominal.

I'm not sure what the oil pressure should be. You might ask user buddyholly on here since he has a running stock LY6.

got the 4l80e-3 shift kit installed,works like a champ.. took me a couple hours to do this.. driving my car around and bam lost oil pressure immedaitly shut car off..pulled it home.. pulled pan off found little metal shavings,,,so i pulled motor..checked bearings,,crank/rods.. every was fine,,looked brand new. metal was coming from front of pan.. so i pulled off the cover and pulled off oil pump,,and bamo!!think i found the problem to my low oil pressure ,,wouldnt you say?..haha

Now why did that happen I wonder? Did you have the oil pump apart at some point?

BTW, I count 9 teeth pieces from the drive-gear and there should be ten, shouldn't there?

yes sir u are corrct..i think it got grinded away,,but im blow out passage way just to be safe.. never had pump off..i did buy this motor with the crank broken off,,which i assume it was drop one time in its life i wasnt told that it was,,but how the hell did it break??,,.so i assume when it was drop it broke or cracked the pump,, which why my oil psi was low. i check both the crank and rod bearings,,both in great shape.so im just buying new pump,,reinstalling motor back in..

Did you have any problems getting the crank pulley on/off indicating that the snout is bent at all? Need to check the thrust bearing clearance too

No power steering?

Mufflers sound good. Do I hear a miss of some kind at idle or is that just the sound quality?

chevellepowered

iTrader: (37)

no power steering..but i def want it.. i have 3 pumps..lol.. just need to install one..it does sound like a lil miss to me when i had just the stock headers on..nuttin else..i bought the injectors used..that my only suspcion of what it could be.. not tuned either.. anything more than 1/3 throttle it starts breaking up..missing..etc.. needs a tune..but im just wait it out till i get turbo setup on it..
