what kind of oil pressure should i expect with 100 outside temp and all my upgrades plus 1.6 roller rockers and no fan @ 210 degrees in the motor. p.s. i just had my bottom end rebuilt with no oil gatherer in the bottom end.

 

Huh? Do you mean no pickup?
Close to 20 psi at idle seems to be the norm for a street LT1. Any less than that and I would investigate.

 

the metal plate that is atatched to the main bolts is no longer in my pan. 20 sounds good because i was just above that.

 

With no baffle ya are just begging for pressure problem's when accelerating. Could lead to a blown motor.

 

I don't think he is talking about the pickup, he is talking about the windage tray that keeps the crank from sweeping up oil at high rpm.

 

which ever peice is bolted to the main

 

20psi is about average , and is what I would say everyone of our LT1's run at. and I wouldn't be messin' around by removing baffles or whatever ,these cars run with low pressure as is and you don't want to lose anymore oil pressure.

 

thanks for the help guys the info sounds good

 

That's your windage tray that attached to the mains, and yes it's a really good idea to have one.
