If you blued the journal(s) and depending on how deep the OEM nitriding penetrated, you may also need to renitride the crank after grinding. For the price of a new crank, especially if the old journals have been blued, you might just be better off with new.

Wet sump oiling systems range from poor to better than average. To get to the better than average threshold you end up spending money. If you do nothing to your oiling system this failure will reoccur. With the availability of OEM dry sump technology on the LS7 engines why not use the best priced, best performing pieces from the factory and the aftermarket and build your own dry sump system for the engine — it will serve you much better.
