Improved Racing's crankshaft scrapers help reduce oil starvation by closely contouring the crankshaft and rods to remove excess oil, ensuring oil is quickly returned to the bottom of the sump. Labels: dry sump , fix oil pressure , how to , How to Dry sump. Unfortunately, a front-mounted oil pump requires an exceptionally long pickup tube, which can expose oil supply problems under extreme racing conditions. 3k since last service. 16-06-2005, 11:32 AM. I surely do NOT want to have a bearing failure or whatever due to oil starvation, whatever, but I'm thinking a few full on accelerations with your '05/'06 SSR should be OK versus the "hill climbers" with the Trail Blazers. IMPROVED RACING LS2/LS6/LSA CTS-V OIL PAN BAFFLE - EGM-206. AFM valve crossed my mind, but didn’t know if this drop in pressure was a sign that it was failing or if the drop is “normal”. Last checked at the weekend and the level was right on the money. jed55. The GM LS family small blocks are prone to oil starvation at high Gs, especially at higher RPMs where oil aeration and windage is more prevalent. :nerd: Popped the bonnet, checked the level and all was good. View Full Version : LS2 Oil Problem? Eventually after enough abuse this leads to spun rod bearings. I did some digging, and saw some threads about oil starvation This has been a distinct problem when road racing late model LS2- and LS3-powered Corvettes, due to the extreme G-forces reducing oil flow to the pickup. The downfall of the TBSS's LS2 is that the oil pickup is in the very front of the oil pan, where it is the most shallow. Thus, upon hard acceleration, the oil sloshes to the back of the pan, and the truck starves for oil. Without an oil pump, pressurized lubrication to the bearings, timing set and rest of the valvetrain components won't happen. These are with relatively low miles too. Find it troubling that any 2006 GTO’s with the AFM valve would bleed off oil pressure at WOT when other LS2’s without it wouldn’t. Turning off the engine when I got home last night the following message came up - "Service engine oil" What the!!!! Alternate LS2 oil pan. Proper oil pan baffling is critical for improving oil control and reducing oil starvation in these engines. Proper oil pan baffling is critical for improving oil control and reducing oil starvation in these engines. The GM LS family small blocks are prone to oil starvation at high Gs, especially at higher RPMs where oil aeration and windage is more prevalent. , ls1 , ls2 , ls3 , ls6 , Oil , Racecar , Road race LS , What oil Oil Starvation Just a perspective: The SSR Pace Trucks ran for more than two seasons in NASCAR, IRL and the American LeMans Series on all types of tracks with all types of banking that has the potential for introducing this as an issue. Problem is, seems at least a third of the ads, even dealer ads, list that the motor was recently replaced, or replaced under warranty, or rebuilt under warranty. now we can push the car to the limit without worrying about Premature engine failure. The previous Corvette/LS1 combination used a "gull wing" oil pan design, but oil starvation was an issue that more than one enthusiast encountered on the racetrack. So if your wanting to run an additional quart, cuz once again, the standard oil capacity for the LS2 is 6qts, not 5qts, then the band aid "fix" to the oil starvation issue would be to run 7qts not 6. I thought the LS2 motors were stout? Oil Starvation is gone. Unfortunately, a front-mounted oil pump requires an exceptionally long pickup tube, which expose...
