i changed my oil and filter just now, and still no pressure... my oil gauge moves a tiny bit when i start... like its getting a weak signal.... damn ls1's! hahaha

anyone know of anyone selling a built ls1 or ls6 for decent price?! haha

 

Did you see any metal flakes? Also replace the sending unit to make sure.

 

it's possible that the opsu is broken. When I did my swap, the plastic was really brittle so I just replaced mine so I didnt have to worry about it later

 

How did it sound running - like it had no pressure - lifters noisy, engine noisy?

Next step I would definitely take off the divers side coil packs to gain access to the sending unit and hook up a mechanical guage

 

still sounds like a bad sending unit to me...cause i said it ran, and sounded normal

 

yeah there was no extra valve noise or anything... im probably going to replace the sending unit...

 

keep us updated

 

okay i will for sure.. I am taking it to forcefed tomorrow to have them check it out..


correction: Towing it!

 

ok well, oil pump went out... the pressure relief got stuck... so yup, cost me a new motor... and apparently the tune i got messed it up... it was running too rich and it was causing the gas to go into the oil and thin it out... not just my opinion... many people think so..

 

Sorry to hear that man. So what are you planning on doing??

 

that sucks man, thats a bum deal.

so the motor is defiantly messed up? did it spin a bearing or what? It seemed like you had caught it early enough that you could have just replaced the pump.

 

You sure there is internal dmg to the motor yet? You didn't drive it with zero oil pressure right?

I find it hard to believe there wasn't any knocking/clanky valvetrain or even remotely decent running with 0 oil pressure. It's got hydraulic lifters after all.. ..

Can someone else chime in on this? The whole diagnosis seems a little "off" if you ask me. How could something run that rich without you noticing black smoke out the tailpipe? If anything it would have washed up the rings before the pump right?

 

man thts weird especially since u said it was running fine at 0 psi
