should be optimized soon i hope

 

hell man that dont sound to pretty..have you checked your oil and oil filter for metal pieces?

 

checked the oil and its normal color and consistency, never looked at the filter. this coming week i will be replacing my heads with a milled set, and i have a set of LS7 replacement lifters to be going in too, also a set of used, but half current mileage rockers to be put on as well, i will also be replacing the oil pick up tube gasket in hopes that this will alleviate the problem. i might be able to get a better look at things and possible damage to the cylinders when the heads are off. i just hope im not totally screwed. if i am then, family, call off this christmas gifts, i need a new motor.
