Engine Break in Oil Pressure Question How many cranks does it usually take to build adequate ressure in the LS1 engine? Clearances are .0020crank/.0025rod so I do not forsee any problem pressure wise. I have been cranking this engine over a bit longer than I had expected and am getting nothing!! Maybe I'm just impatient, but I definately do not want to start this motor dry. I am am about ready to test the oil pressure sensor for proper function. Hopefully I didn't break another one installing the intake manifold!

The driver's side groundstrap had gotten mangled when I pulled the engine and subsequently was not reinstalled. I also had to tighten up the grounds on the back of the right side cylinder head. Everything is good.
