Been sick as a dog for a couple of weeks, so I still have the oil pan off

Just pull the cord and reboot... Seems to work on the other stuff you do Hope you feel better soon I want to see that thing in action.

 

Turbo B., Still trying to get used to the Cold and Damp weather up here? We have had 39" of snow this Dec. already compared with only 3" this same time last year. A heated garage(shop) is your friend.

 

We've had great weather the past couple of days (very Florida like for January -- I think it got up to 69* at my house today!) so I took two more days off (if case you missed my Santa rant, I was pretty much sick the whole break -- first the cold, then the stomach virus) to get the oil system finished so I could move the truck into the "winter bay"

I started her up tonight -- dual turbos, dual wastegates, dual BOVs, dual oil pumps, dual oil filters, new oil pan, miles and miles of braided line... I only had one leak (loose step up fitting).

Pics after a tie up a few loose ends (ran out of harness tube stuff for the two oil pumps), gotta put that worthless front cross member back on).

The one hitch in my giddy-up is that I took the time to fab a mount for the oil level sensor -- went and found the right size steel nut, cut a hole in the pan (I measured the amount of water that filled the stock pan and transfered the water into the moroso, marked it and went to work), did a capture weld on the nut, put the sensor in and then installed the pan with it in... DOH. I broke the sensor on the oil pickup tube. It's really the only place the sensor could fit (the pan is baffled), so lesson learned -- if you do the moroso 7 qt pan swap, just leave the sensor off

 

lol, sounds like that just didin't want to work out but otherwise your looking damn good. Nice that the great north is warm and i'm freezing my *** of in sunny ca!

 

Not a fun update, but FYI here's the story on the bad coating: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...=1#post8530127
