What about your oil pan?

By Dave Shoe - 06/21/2004 8:18:52 AM; IP 216.243.176.34

You failed to mention which oil pan you have in your vehicle. Because of this , I cannot make any valid comments on the matter. The oil pan is the single most important component in a performance FE's oil system. Stock oil pans are great for completlely stock FEs.

You will also need to mention which oil pump you are using. Bearing clearances, if known, would be helpful.

Your numbers seem fine to me, but it sounds like you've likely installed an aftermarket oil pump, and if that's the case, your engine could be in danger.
