My LS1 spun a rod bearing.. Im not too sure of the causes but Im rebuilding the motor right now..
I disassembled the pump and inspected everything looks great, rotors and all.
I Desided that there was not a significant difference in the ls6 pump. I fully ported out the intake port and the outlet port and greatly increased their ports volume.
And I shimmed the pump with a 1/8th shim per article on LS1 tech.
Ive read about the early LS1 having oil issues.. Mine is a 98 engine.. though even with the rod spun rod bearing it was still having 15-19 Psi At idle hot..
Whats the common failures, The check valves?
With my above said mods, can I still run this pump? Its clean and ready to go if so.
