As a bloke that took 4 hours to get my car up on jack stands with enough clearance to do an oil and filter change, its awesome to see how fast a pro can get the front of his engine off 👍 deffo no fornication with arachnids
Dropping a bolt into the bumper 20sec after Gian says "this whole thing's staged" is perfect 😆 You're saying you can't afford to put a JZ in, but y'know you already have the one in the crown, just a little build..
If you are running a Gen 3 or 4 LS. There is an oil passage barbell you should swap out if you haven't. In racing apps like your. This little part can be a pain in the ass, and cause all kinds of oiling issues.
Seems to be a more common thing then it used to be on aftermarket pumps. I havent tried a better spring in a gm pump but i have shimmed one and ported a little of the poor inlet and outlet casting on them and had success. Good luck this time round 👍
Wow 25w60 for an ls! Those guys are keen. They must widen the bearing clearance a lot when they rebuild them. Because all it does it make it slower for oil to return to the sump so it can't Cool as well in the driving your doing in the video.
@@BennysCustomWorks I wrote that as soon as you poured. There's a blog that does oil testing but starts off with an essay on oil viscosity and it's made me rethink oil thickness even on old motors if they are fresh.
I keep saying I'll take my car to Pheasant Wood circuit but haven't got there yet. Maybe a Winter thing. How does it compare to something like Luddenham which I have done a few times.
I was sure I spotted a UK registration plate on that mercedes then there's definitely one on that Range Rover inside. So confusing why are there UK registered cars in Australia 😂
When you throw it back in bolt in an oil pick up tube girdle. Helps support the tube when bashing it around a track. I might have a spare I can send to you
@@BennysCustomWorks im no expert but id remove that spring unless you have clearances to suit. Stock pump is enough but cavitates at high RPM which your accusump should be able to compensate for, an extra volume pump might be a better choice. I run similar melling pump high volume/high pressure on an L98 6.0 with the normal pressure spring, 5w-30, rock solid high 60s PSI Solid barbell/F body improved racing pan /w baffle Ignore my oil selection as this is a freshly built engine, for track days I’d go a little thicker 15w-50 (GM recommends this for Corvettes)
@@BennysCustomWorks fair enough nice workshop too, I’ve always admired how neat the work area is Mine always seems to be a disaster zone at the end of the day
Hey Benny I’m probably going to tell you shit you know.. But a lot of drift guys will use an “accusump” for constant oil pressure… one guy’s had the same engine 4 years.. I personally have an LS in a e36 For street but I just use a high volume oil pump and over fill it a bit 😉 she’s all good! Goodluck you’ll get it man,you know what’s up! 👍

@@BennysCustomWorks I think the internet has made people think it's a race motor and you can chuck a $2000 LS in a car and skid for years. I think like most stuff you gotta spend the money and do all the goodies on the inside to be reliable track engine.

Glad to hear you didn't frag another engine :D
As demonstrated, it's compulsory for a bloke finished tensioning a ratchet strap to say "That's not going anywhere".
You don't have to do the Twang test. But if you don't, it might go somewhere. You don't want to risk it.
Thanks for the video.
Your Lexus is trying to tell you it does not want anything but a JDM engine inside of it.

I’m starting to think this may be the issue tbh.
It’s a gen 4 6.0 L98
strange seeing the discovery from the uk in the shop, probably as you cant insure them in the uk currently lol
That oil looked really clean, I think you might have lucked out. I hope you get it sorted soon.
I reckon your bang on with the relief valve, have had many in the past do the same. Stock pumps and mellings pumps
Yeah this was a melling. I’ve gone back to a GM pump and a higher pressure return spring for this go around

@@summersskids5428 thanks mate
Haha Jarad with the Teacher's Pointer, helpful.
Hope you sort it without to much cost or hassle
Certainly not as bad as it could have been! Hope it really just is that valve.
Does running thicker engine oil put strain on the oil pump?

Yeah I got too ambitious. Will be revising the oil choice for next time

Oooooo I see a discovery from the Uk

I also wondered about this, I assume they're imports but why a disco 4 🤷🏻♂️
Whats the Disco with U.K. plates ?
Poor Man’s Motorsport has a pickup tube with a 2-bolt flange that seals real nice
Horse C... is a new one for me, I always use Donkey D....
"It's not gonna grow 4 inches"
THATS WHAT SHE SAID!...
Did you chop the filter and have a look for sparkles?

Thanks, it already has one
@@BennysCustomWorks ah sorry missed that. Keen to find out which spring you run. I have the melling pump and left the spring in unmodified.
@@NCMcLaren I have a melling hp spring
@@BennysCustomWorks im no expert but id remove that spring unless you have clearances to suit.

Solid barbell/F body improved racing pan /w baffle

Is that a uk reg disco in the background?
And UK reg sl Merc.
There’s a lot of oddities at the shop atm. The merc and disco are going tomorrow
@@BennysCustomWorks fair enough

Hey Benny I’m probably going to tell you shit you know..

I personally have an LS in a e36
For street but I just use a high volume oil pump and over fill it a bit 😉 she’s all good!
Goodluck you’ll get it man,you know what’s up! 👍
There’s one under the dash already ;)
Ohh yep yep you’re a step ahead already.. damn now I’m interested too 🤔
I’ll be watching..
Hopefully a fresh pump and o-ring will do it!…
👍
Expensive sparkles 😂
13:29 - says the guy who makes youtube videos! lol
I love the cheep ls comment i am the same i am like please tell me were all the cheep ls are lol.
Have you got the oil pick up bracket that makes it so you have 2 bolts holding the pick up in?
Yes, i’m swapping it out for another one however.
The only thing that grows 4 inches is uhh... Well there's a reason they refer to it as a "grow-er not a show-er"!
What gives with the UK registered cars? I've seen them a few times now.
Importing UK rust to Australia 😂

I fully agree Ben. F**k cars haha

Just get rid of the LS. You clearly don't appreciate it.
I appreciate it when it works but they aren’t the magic fix all the internet raves on about in my experience.
