Thanks Fred!

 

...or rap the bottom of the pan with a rubber hammer and listen for the pickup rattling...

 

OK guys I'm stumped the oil pressure is not the problem the car been running just fine no loss of power but the gauge is still going to 50 psi and then dropping to 0 but no running or driving problems could it just be the gauge? And I'm running hooker comp long tube headers with 3" y pipe no cats to the single flowmaster muffler could me not having cats on the car a count for the gauge going retarded?

 

did you check the pressure with a mechanical gauge?

 

Yes 55psi

 

If I’m reading your original post correctly, the pressure drop (and a possible knock) occurs when you are stopping. When you accelerate the pressure returns. Is that correct?

Under what conditions did the mechanical gauge read 55 PSI? That would be unusually high at idle for an LT1, except possibly when the oil was cold, or possibly the wrong viscosity. Would see that above 5,000 RPM. Did you try a hard stop while watching the mechanical gauge?

 

The said knock is my u joints that's y I'm stumped my oil gauge is rising and cold start but drops when warm but no power loss no rode knock I've let it run for a hour and a half but no rode knock I've drove it at high speeds under a load but no knock so good God someone tell me wtf is going on

 

You have to answer all the questions if you want help.

 

I did answer the questions u stated the knock i talked about well the knock i hurd is my ujoints on my drive shaft and i replaced my oil sending unite but there was no change on the gauge and yes i used a oil test gauge and the car is staying at 55 psi at idle and i drove the car and the gauge still said 55psi after i drove it and no motor knock or anything no power loss only thing i can tell u is it dont have cats on it with long tube headers and off road straight pips so im going to try this again someone please give me some info other then someone thats going to reply with u have to answer questions to get help even thoe i replyed with answers thanks for all u others guys that have tried to help

 

Simple questions, easily answered with "yes" of "no".

But since you apparently would rather argue about it, maybe someone else who meets your approval can help you out.

Have a nice day.
