Yeah that was tough to watch. I wonder if they got a high volume pump instead of high pressure like Taylor just said?

[@Jake_Hamlin]

Unfortunate for Bhall. Should've just chucked a turbo on his bmw engine and pushed 15psi imo, cheapest option I really hope he didnt use a high volume oil pump. Filling the head is the same fault the rb has, could call it a rookie mistake by even JP..

[@governmentcalamari9785]

@@Jake_Hamlin that or oil slosh plus I’d imagine they didn’t mag flux the block to check for cracks. That heads cam set up was pushing some serious cylinder pressure for a aluminum block with over 100k miles

[@Watchmedome3017]

Taylor also rod knocked a LS the first time out drifting and it was because he used the stock oil Pan with no baffles so it starved the engine.

[@morgan2678]

Solid overall build, I'm doing close to the same on a current project. A couple of tips for next time or anyone looking to do this as well. -You should put some type of sealant on the intake rocker bolts. On most ported heads, the bottom of the hole gets exposed to the intake runner and this can cause issues on boosted engines. Under boost it can create a boost leak that looks like excessive blowby, under vacuum it can burn excessive oil. -Turbo drain-GM already gave you a hole to drain the turbo oil, they just put a level sensor in it. Most will not use the sensor anyways and you can buy an adapter to your choice of drain line.

[@trevork4201]

I am willing to bet you will drive it nearly everyday. I've been dailying my rcsb 6.0 80e on 14psi for 6 months now, it just doesn't get old.

[@jakemoody82]

I've been mechanicing for most of my life. I don't care what anyone says, you did a magnificent job building this motor. A+++

[@johnhunter4465]

Listening about the high pressure and high volume oil pumps, wondering if Bhall from JimmyO made that mistake.

[@ronanigans4715]

Yeah I think he might have, but Jimmy knows what he's talking about so maybe not?

[@colin_g]

Jimmy mentioned something about the oil pump, I don't think they overlooked that in the build.

[@octane_matty]

sucking the pan dry is a myth? i think that only happens with DOD pumps oil control is key, not sure if Jimmy had a pan baffle generally doesn't high pressure pumps require larger bearing tollerances? and high volume is preferred due to reducing cavitation at high rpm and better supports oil coolers/turbos

[@helplmchoking]

Nah oil pressure has always been an issue with LS engines. Drifting is about the worst environment for them, Taylor has killed several thanks to oiling issues before he went dry sump - which seems to be the only guaranteed way to keep the well oiled at high speed, high revs and sideways.

[@Watchmedome3017]

If you have a high volume it will clear the pan dry if I’m now mistaken right?

[@streetmeann]

the amount of progression this man has been through since i started watching him is insane, to think he was living multiple roommates in a tiny house with just a tiny garage working on the miata is crazy. now he’s got a huge shop and a nice house it’s crazy to see how much people can grow in under 5 years.

[@codylapoint]

I really appreciate the way you describe what you are doing,and why when you are putting something like this together. So many people just skip over it, and it's the step by step process that gives people the confidence to try it themselves. I can slap a 1,000 hp ls together in a day, but 15 years ago I would have been reading every step in the manual 3 times and second guessing everything until the 3rd oil change.

Fun fact the pan will center the front cover on an ls. You put the cover on and you put the pan with the gasket with 4dabs of rtv on the pan where the rear main and the front cover meet the block and you put all the bolts in and tighten them down then you thighten the front cover

[@Forcefed2002]

TAYLOR ! If those heads are ported thru the rocker arm bump (which is VERY COMMON) YOU NEED TO PUT GREY GM SEALANT IN THE ROCKER STAND HOLES AND ON THE ROCKER BOLTS ! IT WILL LEAK BADLY OTHERWISE!

[@Forcefed2002]

Look into the intake ports or reach a index finger in there and look/feel for a hole in the wall of the port directly below the rocker boss. Typically there is a bulge that is the 1st thing that is ported away (unnecessary strength). I dunno on your heads but its likely-please verify. And Google porting the rocker bump for more info

Hope you go in detail with the terminator stuff. Was hoping to see the dumbbell get replaced. I like all the details you put into videos!

[@camdenr2906]

on another note a high pressure oil pump can starve the bearing and cause failure too, the rule of thumb is 1psi of pressure for every 100 RPM your gonna turn so if your only gonna spin to 6,700 rpm a 100psi oil pressure is over kill because at to low if a rpm the pressure can actually cause the oil to not take up enough room in the bearing clearances causing you to spin a rod or main bearing, i always use a high volume pump because none of the engines i build typically spin past 6,500. but it’s all based on application and i never play with turbos. i’m not trying to call you wrong i’m just stating the other side of things for anyone interested

[@mhrepoman]

When you go to weld to cast aluminum that's dirty like your oil pan, before you even insert the weld-in bung, get some aluminum brightener in a spray bottle and a small wire brush. Spray the brightener around the area and scrub really well with the wire brush, then spray some more and continue scrubbing. Make sure to scrub inside and out. Then do a quick rinse with water and dry it with a towel, then take your propane torch and hit the area with the torch inside and out for like 45 seconds to a minute inside and out. Then repeat the brightener/ wire brush step again, followed by cleaning with acetone, then hit it with your propane torch one more time. The brightener Is a type of acid that cleans the aluminum really well and gets into the pours, removing any corrosion, oils and other contamination that makes welding to it difficult. After you're done welding you can actually clean the entire outside of the oil pan with the brightener and a brush, then rinse with water and it will make it look like new. Hope this helps in the future.
