oil pressure ? LT1

[ICEPICK]

when i slow down to fast to stop i notice my oil pressure bottoms out then goes back up, is this the screen on the pump fell off, or is it just idle'd tp low when i slow down, thats the only time i have a problem with it.

im lost, maybe this winter pull the motor to fix it. started last year that i noticed.

is this the factory gauge your going by?

Lt1s are notorious for poor oil pressure readings. On a hot summer day I've seen mine bottom out. Tap the cluster and the gauge moves up. The only way to know for sure is to use a test gauge on the engine.

yea, i have an aftermarket in the car aswell but thats as dependable as a drunk handiling your bank account. and that one runs in the top of the intake.

im guessing your pickup tube came loose

Same thing was happening with my old motor. Pickup tube was tacked. Found out later that every bearing was wiped right out.

Not good

You might want to get that checked soon.

i have good oil pressure its just when i come to a fast stop. i gues i might pull the motor sooner then later and fix it, its a weekend deal. pull it drain it flip it then fix it. dont want to but i guess i better.
