Landlord: Cool your jets Cleetus: BRB.... *Startup whine and clicking*

[@jkinerk]

POTENTIAL OIL PRESSURE SOLUTION: It's a definite possibility the low oil pressure is just the pickup tube gasket. On these older 5.3 blocks, that gasket flattens out over time and draws in air, lowing your oil pressure. I've seen high mileage LS engines with 15 lbs at idle, go to 30 lbs, just by replacing that gasket. And that was on a motor with 150k miles! Hope this helps.

[@roodick85]

Haha yeah tell John Chase that over at Hoonigan they seem to think those LQs are indestructible lol little ole pick up goes dry and it's over. I blew up a few of them doing the same thing,they are known for blowing because of that stupid gasket

You guys make me so happy I bought my modest Nissan Leaf (that will 'smoke' most ICE cars off the line). It is missing all the 'stuff' you constantly work on perfecting: bearings, gaskets, rings, connecting rods, high-lift camshaft, low oil pressure ! ! ! It has one moving part . . . . . . . . a rotor. The other part is called a stator ('cause it 'stays' ! -doesn't move-) SO, I enjoy your channel immensely giving me all the thrills, extra maintenance, complicated engine rebuilds when you blow them up, figuring and calculating why it isn't 'up to snuff', changing plugs, oil, gaskets, piston rings, bearings, . . . . etc. . . that an internal combustion engine can provide ! What a thrill it is to me when I go to the garage, look at my (bug/insect looking) vehicle and realize my 'maintenance requirement' is . . . . . . windshield washer fluid. Does it need to be 'topped-up' ? ? ? ? How boring. I 'get' why you race these antiques and spend exorbitant amounts of money in doing so ! ! ! ! ! ! What FUN ! ! I do not get that fun with my Leaf. It is boringly reliable, maintenance-free, space-ship smooth. THANK YOU for your entertaining channel that I have revisited multiple times now! Best wishes, Rich

The oil pressure most likely fluctuates because of overfill. Air bubbles are usually whipped into the oil by the crank if you fill too high, causing erratic oil pressure. If the baffles are removed it might get even worse if it allows oil to be slung up in the rotating assy'. Check out engine masters oil-level test they did. -They got the most stable oil pressure on the dyno, having really low oil level. (like 5qt in a 8qt pan)

Hello Cleetus! I have a comment that will most definitely help your goal. Identify the bottom of your piston ring travel, tape off the cylinder wall above that and sand in up and down motions. Do this until the cylinder is almost polished,but you can still see the honing marks. Why? you may ask. The piston skirt is softer than the cylinder and gets eaten by it. The result by this very overlooked procedure is dramatic! You get less power robbing friction, longer lasting piston fitment meaning longevity and more crank turning energy that isn't being put into the crankcase in the form of blowby. The lack of "piston rock" allows the rings to seal and lock up in the cylinder wall causing catastrophic failure. I hope this helps you. I almost forgot use 400 grit sandpaper!

Dude I almost went off triggered NPC on you...then I read more carefully. I like that idea a lot. I've never heard of it in any way though. Hmm. I have the pleasure of doing a nice Jeep motor very soon. Hmm... It makes sense it would reduce skirt wear, and slap is why this Jeep needs fixing.

[@1986z28owner]

Wow. Kids this is why you dont take engine building advice from the youtube comment section.

[@abnormallynormal8823]

Charlie Eden you mean I don’t just get in there with sandpaper after I dingleberry it? I though that’s what everyone did. Should I not have sandpapered my turbo inlet either? Cuz I heard a weird noise that sounded like grating sand coming from around my turbo

[@duster0066]

@@1986z28owner Well lets hear it proman. Lend us your wisdom. I'm fairly sure you read it the way I did the first time. Knocking those ridges off below the rings will save a few molecules of skirt wear. On the knocky knock 4.0 that might be enough. lol

[@danielbrealey2924]

@@1986z28owner 100% correct! I just about choked when i read that. I hope he's just trolling. Taking any material away in this area will increase piston rock as it's not supported at the piston gauge point. This is a very BAD idea. I've been a qualified mechanic for 19 years. I do this for a living. I would call that bad advice

the engines hes been using arent Ls blocks. theyre cast iron blocks. my Ls has 105k and still runs as good as new.

[@nicksmith4808]

@@jvracingvids6529 you realize it doesn't matter what the block is made out of. A big block Chevy is a big block Chevy no matter if it's aluminum or cast. A truck motor is as much as an LS as a Corvette motor. They are bolt up to each other and everything on them is interchangeable. A ls7 cam would fit in a 4.8 work truck motor. A LS 9 head would bolt right up to a lq9. The material doesn't matter the design does.

There can be no success without failure. It's good to hear ya say you make mistakes but learn from them. There's a reason why they call it manning up. Good luck with Ruby. No extra oil! It'll cause foaming of the oil without a scavenging plate between the pan and block.

[@nesicus]

@@peterclark4175 No, he didn't. He said 4.8. I don't even think Chevy makes a 4.3 V8, though I could be wrong. They have a 4.3 V6, like the other guy said, however. Ford had a 4.3 V8. But this is a 4.8 V8 instead of the 5.3 they had before. Edit: Yah, was wrong. Chevy and Ford both also had a 4.3L V8.

[@SP33D3M0N03]

You shouldn't ever overfill oil because then the crankshaft will whip the oil and aerate the oil and cause oil pressure issues causing bearing damage.

[@thallusa123]

Probably why their oil pressure was all over too

[@gavinriggs2306]

The turbski takes some oil up

[@renewillard3813]

Yeah In n/a car... if you don’t add extra for added lines and the turbos fill see how long bearings last being starved..

[@kevinc9006]

Unless you have a Nissan k24de....

[@ya472]

Only on track racing will the oil aerate enough to cause a problem, not on a drag strip.

[@russmontgomery5211]

Yeah I see you guys looking for A new shop pretty soon.

[@eric63377]

Little tip. I've built a lot of 8-7 sec motors and I've always used King Bearings / racing type. Years later the engines are still together. Also O-ring the block or heads = head gasket problem solved. Deep sump pan with hv&hp oil pump or dry sump system.

[@keeganandjakey]

U need a zero fucks drift car like the BMW. I missed the old Leroy days. You look so happy teaching Jeremy to drift

[@patdaly5769]

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but it isn't a good thing to run heavier weight oil to try and raise oil pressure. The bearings require X amount of flow to drag heat away from the bearing, and by adding viscosity without the proper increase in bearing clearance, you significantly reduce the flow of oil across the bearing. If you feel like you have to run heavier weight oil, open up the rods and mains by a thousandth. Nascar is keeping them together for 500 miles running low pressures and in some cases, 0 weight synthetics. I would run GM specified 5W30 ( good brand ) and so long as you can keep around 30-40 Lbs pressure, you shouldn't hurt the bearings.

[@tezzrterry7485]

Agreed, get some synthetic oil in it, plus the turbo bearing is trying to cook the oil everytime it goes through it.

[@scnomad100]

Recommended oil pressure on a LS Engine is 10psi /1000 rpm so 30- 40 psi limits them to 3000-4000rpm. not gonna get 8's at 4000 rpm

[@zekescarborough4524]
