Found out the problem with my oil pressure problem

I found it out to be that GM left a 16mm plug out of the 6.0 block. When the machine shop put the shortblock togther again they found it out. They said they overlooked the plug. So i get the shortblock back thurs and have the heads back on it and running friday. Hopefully next week i can get the tranny and the converter and computer sent off and retuned, and make it to the Thunder Shootout. If all goes well. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Are they going to cover the cost on their nickle?

Re: Found out the problem with my oil pressure problem

Yea Louis Every thing looked brand new just like it was put togther. So I just got to put all the head studs back, put the heads on and put it in the car. Hopefully the converter gets back from yank and Ed Wright gets the computer done So i can make it to the Thunder Shootout.
