converting Lq4 block for priority oiling?
Exactly my point, look at the bearings lol
Go look at that copo build. Good block with stiff crank, and blower...... It looks seriously like new inside. And he can keep it together at weight and as fast

You'd be hard pressed to find a single engine builder thats worth a **** tell you those bearings look the way they due because of an oiling problem. My **** makes 95 lbs of oil pressure for a reason.
You also make a comment about him being able to keep it together "as weight and as fast". Mine was torn down due to a head gasket issue, not a bottom end issue. What does that have to do with our discussion?

I just wanna make sure we are on the same page and not arguing back and forth over two different subjects.

You need to learn a few things bud. The bearings look the way they do because the crankshaft has a major flexing issue. It has absolutely nothing to do with oiling. You need to stop typing **** that you read about but know nothing about.

personally I have not seen anybody covert a block to priority main oiling. I'm not even sure it's possible and if it is it would not be cost effective and probably too complex to work properly. I was trying to give alternative solutions to this based off of what I have seen work in the past. we've made 1800 hp on a stock ls2 block with zero oiling issues. it's not needed if the engine is built correctly.

This argument is pretty much done now.
lol, there was nothing to "figure out".
Nobody is disagreeing with you saying that priority oiling isn't better. It is. The point was that there never seems to be any issue with the ls that changing the oil strategy would fix. Given the cost and trouble, if it could even be done, it just doesn't make sense. Now, the pump on the other hand does have issues, but that a different topic.
I pursued this thread after you bashed my bottom end, then gave an incorrect reason why is looked the way it does. Just setting the record straight.......especially when it involves something of mine.
