No Oil????
No Oil???? Ok so I start the car,while its running I look into my valve cover where my oil cap is and I dont see any oil shooting around, Im pretty sure thats bad......Someone please help!!! 
I haven't done this on my LS1, but I know my brothers 3.8 in his regal doesn't really shoot around as much as I would think. My 4.3's the same. Nothing wrong, just comes up the top of the pushrod into the rocker
do u get oil pressure? wut happens if you pull the stick out, you got oil on that?
im no expert but im pretty sure if you get oil pressure and have some on the dipstick your ok lol

Im with Jim, I usually start up my GTP's 3800 with the cap off(after an oil change) and never really see oil actually shooting or puddling for that matter on the top end, i think that gets more lubed from residual, there is however a coating of oil on the rockers and all the inside, but this is the 3800 im talkin about, not an LS1
