I will have to try that oil filter.

I considered shimming oil pump before I installed it but decided to leave it alone. Was scared it would be too much pressure. Oil pressure at 1500rpm crusing sits at 38psi which I feel comfortable with.

Just had sending unit replaced a few months ago but I do want to double check with mechanical gauge.

Was really hoping to sell this truck. It's a tow truck and was wanting to get a totally different setup. Anyone know where a decent low cost engine can be found?

I did before I replaced sending unit. But was reading 0psi at that time. Had to blow out oil gallery with air for it to register pressure. Doesn't have a screen like most ls engines so

This engine does not have a screen under sending unit. Replaced sending unit expecting one to be there. Local chevy dealer told me these engines did not come with a screen because it does not have the active fuel management system.

What would cause the engine oil to overheat?
