<< < (2/2)

There is some truth in that last bit.
I had a oil leak at the torque/conv  four year on still not finished .
I started an ls1 swap

I had the gearbox reconditioned about 6years ago, but I have never been able to get the motor running smoothly, so I am biting the bullet and pulling the motor to inspect the guts of it. I am hoping to find some small problem such as a worn cam or dickey cam followers. I just want to get the bloody thing n the road.

bfit:
It is easy to strip the engine in the frame,
The sump and front can be removed in frame.
If you find something minor it can be repaired.
Just a thought

I need to take the engine out so as I can get someone with expertise to inspect each and every part. Unless there is a crack or a score mark I would be lost, I would not know a worn cam lobe or a stuffed hydraulic lifter if I fell over them. I am still having arguments with myself over the positioning of the oil pump strainer. Oil pressure is a problem  but there may be other problems.

If the block is ok I'd get it hot tanked and cleaned up (will need new cam bearings).  My engine temps dropped remarkably when I did mine.   :shades:

Oh......and make sure they use some thread sealant on the oil gallery screws at the back of the block.  Mine ended up with a tiny, tiny leak which you can't fix with it in the car.  :grr:
