You beat me to it with the pics Mike, we dont need no stinkin Dissy's.
Lets just sit in the passenger seats with our laptops to adjust the timing useing ls1 edit.
With the oil surge the fault is in sump design.
Some people also complain of a rattle on start up and afew people feel this is related to how far the oil needs to travel befor reaching the bearings. ie from front pickup to rear union to front pump back to rear bearing.
Also the ls1 has pickup points ready to fit the oil cooler straight on.
I will be fitting an after market clutch assy.
Looking at an alloy flywheel aswell.
I will put some LS1 engine pics in my gallery showing a customers car, take a peak at them, Craig (the forced induction guy) will like them.
