I forget, what was your oil issue?

 

In his words,

 

how low?

 

22 psi hot, less than 50 at 7k rpm, been running thqt way for years.

 

Just realized the motor didnt have a windage tray...

 

GM makes one for 4" stroke motor

I picked up a holley 302-3 oil pan that was built for the early style LS1 pan that is missing the front 1/3 of the tray. I also got some .120 shims to clear the crank.

Can anyone recommend a flex plate that will handle a trans brake? It will be a stage 5 jakes setup with a pro torque converter.

 

I have a TCI SFI plate that I use with my Pro Torque.

 

The TCI units are nice!

 

I got the TCI plate along with more ARP bolts.

So i woke up the other morning and a random thought popped into my head. I dont specifically remember torquing the lifter trays down. I remember running them down finger tight but i cannot remember if they got tightened. Heads are coming back off to check 4 stupid bolts that are probably tight but i'm just second guessing myself.

The question is, new LS9 gaskets, or re-use them with some copper coat spray?
