Where else can I put oil back into the engine? On the LS1, is there any better place than tapping the oil pan? All the plugs and ports and stuff that lead into the oil system seem to be pressurized. That's no good. I guess tapping the oilpan is better than tapping the block; I just gotta remove so much shti to get to the tapping spot.
you could put a pump on the return line from the turbo and tray and tap it in to the vavle covers. But it could turn out to be more work than it is worth.
Plus you should pull the pan to tap it so you do not have metal shavings in the oil.

I considered the pump. Actually, if you get an 80psi pump you could put it back wherever you wanted. 
how hard is it to pull the pan on a C5?
