Silly question, but have you tried replacing the oil filter since you noticed your pressure is low? I've seen that be a problem about as many times as I've seen the oil pump pick up tube o-ring.

Yep. I'm 99.9% sure it's internal bearings or something.

Oh NO!!! How many miles do you have on the motor? You think LME will warranty it?

02blackbeauty19

iTrader: (22)

Oh it's absolutely nothing that LME did. Its been in the car for 4 years and has been an awesome motor.

Well shoot! At least you got 4 years worth of usage.

True! I guess I won't completely rule out that the pump may fix it.

I just picked up an LS2 block though

Snapped a couple of quick pics today after cleaning the car up. Still needs a full wax and detail, but for now it's ok. I need a better camera, but this one does ok for what it is.

I don't remember your car sitting that high.....you outta do some BMR or Strano springs with some Bilstiens

Yeah it's stock height and I'm sure the wheels being turned isn't helping as it will change the pitch of the car. Strano's and bilsteins are on the list, but it'll be later on. Just wanted some better pics of it. The cell pics were funky lol.

Just how low is it? Was this all of a sudden or gradual?

See this thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...c-pursuit.html

I haven't pulled the valve cover to see any oil up top, but all other symptoms are the same to the "T".

On a side note, how do you like your AES 390? Were they good to work with?

Yeah good to work with. I liked talking to Frasier. I do have a 'random' knock coming from the motor that nobody seems to be sure of what it is. Only does it on a low idle usually. But at the slightest bit of throttle it goes away. I have never seen anything like it. You can hold the throttle open, just enough to say you are giving it gas, and its gone. Other than that its been good so far, only a few thousand miles. The car is always down getting upgraded. And with not much time to work on it, it makes the smallest of modifications take forever. I planned on taking some pics of it soon as I get a retune and posting them and the mods done to it. Gonna try to get Todd down to ETMC for a dyno session the weekend of sept 10th to see how it does. Its down right now lol. Doing -8 fuel supply and stock return, redoing the pcv system, then maxing the D1SC out for all its worth. Hoping for at least 600rwhp, pump gas and no meth obviously. I have been looking into meth but dont really like what I read. I want hp but dont want to blow anything up if something fails. I just want it running and reliable for now. I just want to go play, clyde fant, track, whatever after the tune. Sit on it for a while, then maybe go to a bigger blower like a F1 and see about maxing the motor lol. Thats a waaaays down the road. I see a 12 bolt coming real soon, then another trans before that.

Picnik its free but u don't get everything have to pay for more I found it on fb

Other than that, I am with todd, o-ring and oil pump is the only thing I would know to look at. But from what you are describing, it may be something more serious. Hate to hear it really. You were putting down some pretty sick numbers from what I hear tho. Time for an upgrade....

Yeah Fraser has been good to talk to so far. Like I said, I've already got the spare LS2 block so I think the 385ci would be awesome with these twin billet turbos.

On the subject of methanol injection...get a good kit (I highly recommend Alky Control) and use HP Tuners to pull timing if IAT's do not respond like they should as in the case of meth failure. I've had it on my car for a couple years now and I love it. To do this, you would have to place your IAT sensor downstream of the methanol nozzles. In my case, I had disassociate the IAT that was built into the MAF and solder in a new pigtail. It's very easy. If the tune is setup correctly, you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Chris, (sorry I cant recall) but you have verified the pressure readings with a mechanical gauge?

TA Chris what did you decide about the PCV system? Did the leaks ever get better after we made the changes?

02blackbeauty19

iTrader: (22)

No, I haven't put a mechanical gauge on it. It has a new OPS and didn't see the need to. If the factory gauge was acting erratic, I would have put a mechanical gauge on it.
