Mouse in forked river will be looking over the car friday night and giving me a start date on body work. Just yrying to figure out what to do with the engine bay seeing that the motor and all of its polished parts are in it.

Mouse in Forked River? Where's that located?

bigz28man · 06-27-2012, 11:59 AM

About 10 minutes off of exit 77.

coolmanvette75 · 06-27-2012, 10:17 PM

bigz28man · 06-28-2012, 08:12 AM

sweetbmxrider · 06-28-2012, 09:48 AM

I might be at my place with Matt changing some tow truck oil.

bigz28man · 06-28-2012, 12:29 PM

I'll bring it by

bigz28man · 06-28-2012, 06:58 PM

Its finally on the road after 9 monthts ( that time frame seems kinda funny) anyway 9 months later and she is back on the road.....little banged up here and there but that will be soon fixed. This car is nothing like it was it is an absolute animal. The only thing that kinda is draw back is exhaust fumes do sometimes get into the interior of the car, oh well the pains of having no cats.

86ta-adf · 06-28-2012, 11:40 PM

Saw and heard it drive past sounded sweet

sweetbmxrider · 06-29-2012, 07:08 AM

Definitely sounds real good.

bigz28man · 06-29-2012, 11:18 AM

so i dont know who is a member of ls1tech, but i hear that kooks is in the process of fabing up a true dual exhaust setup for the lt1 motors

. bmxrider and 86ta can confirm the car is extremely loud. I think this is the direction where I will head to as far as exhaust system goes. its looking like a $2000.00 investment ....what the hell its only money

kooks ls1 true dual setup

GMHTP had a story about that exhaust about a year ago. I thought it was for sale

bigz28man · 06-29-2012, 04:25 PM

need some advice...put 6 quarts of oil in the other day (as instructed w/ canton oil tank) i bring the car from freehold to point pleasant last night, start car today, low oil light comes on ....some im thinking "thats strange" I check the stick , its alittle low and i mean a little. so i put about 1/3 of a quart of oil back in it, low oil light shuts off. Cool... drive the car from the exxon in point pleasant beach to mouses in lonoka harbor ,shut the car off, im there like half hour, start car back up.....low oil light back on..... WTF. anyone ever experience this before , its drinking oil, the car has no leaks and runs as normal as it can be.

the car goes to the bodyshop in late august, $6,000.00 = New looking fast car.

LTb1ow · 06-29-2012, 06:57 PM

Did Golen break the engine in fully?

bigz28man · 06-29-2012, 08:17 PM

no he did not...im doing the break in

LTb1ow · 06-29-2012, 08:19 PM

Then thats prob why its eating oil, make sure you get the exact break procedure he wants and follow that exactly.

What oil is in it? Grade and brand/type.

bigz28man · 06-29-2012, 09:57 PM

castrol 10w40, and its really clean, has that clearish look to it. As per chad over at Golen his instructions where as follow first start up, check for any leaks giving the motor about 5 minutes to start warming up. after about 5 minutes run car (in neutral) for 20 minutes at 2000 rpm while some is checking headers, checking for leaks. last step change oil filter and oil, refill with 6 quarts. I wonder because the canton is a bigger oil pan is the senor just not making a proper read?

Blackbirdws6 · 06-30-2012, 08:06 AM

Get the engine broken in and keep checking the oil. I would make a call to Golen just to keep them aware of what you are experiencing and also ask for their advice.

Not synthetic, right?

And the true purpose of a larger oil pan is not more capacity but better oil control. Golen should tell you the correct capacity. I'd ask him if the light keeps going off. Hell, you paid him enough I'm sure.

sweetbmxrider · 06-30-2012, 08:42 AM

I've always been told to vary the rpm and do some strong engine breaking to help seat the rings. No wot runs but bring it up to 4k, leave in gear and let off the gas slowing a considerable amount, do it again etc. See any smoke out the tailpipes?

I hestitated posting this. That is what I have heard as well, and seen on engine dyno break-ins.

bigz28man · 06-30-2012, 09:55 AM

Nope no spoke, seems to do everything as normal as it can, checked the stick and i have plenty of oil. I was doing some reading on ls1 tech guys have had problems w/ those canton oil pans

The oil needs to be going somewhere. If not through the engine then its leaking out somewhere.
