Guess I'll just hope for the best, so far so good. But im also running the Melling 10553 ST* with the as-shipped high pressure spring and a Canton non-bypass filter base with standard SBC filter (running the large K&N filter) instead of that stupid tiny OEM filter. Once oil is up to temp it idles at 20psi and jumps to 40psi with any RPM bump. Stays within 10psi/1000rpm up to 6k (haven't revved it over that yet since im still on stock tune till next week).
That was on straight 30wt. break in oil too, its now on 20w-50 high zinc race oil so the pressures jumped up even more...
Mostly leaking from welds and the windage issues. Mine has never leaked and there have been those who’ve taken out the baffling in favor of a Moroso baffle which I guess somehow bolts up. Not sure if it fastens by main cap bolts or to the pan. I think that’s one reason why i didn’t do it is because i have splayed caps on my engine.
