Looks factory. Only other thing I would do is put the DSX idler relocation bracket on. GM's setup is poor with the belt no longer making contact with the pulley after the 3 o'clock position. Belt wrap is more important that the amount of ribs IMO.

I was actually thinking the same thing lol…the spacer kit made that even worse up front so I’m going to have to do something about it.

Ok cool I’ll check that out! I’m already running the TooHighPSI LT5 tensioner setup but will give that a try if I get any slip.

Since you're doing the 3.0, I'm doing the 3.1!

*Joshinator99* · 04-21-2023, 05:55 PM

So she’s up and running!
https://photos.app.goo.gl/cx9B5TevyxD54wAAA

Went to take her for a ride and got 200 feet down the road and realized I had no oil pressure!?! I know, I know, why didn’t I look at that first thing lol!

I quickly brought it back to the garage and checked the oil, all good there. The oil pressure sensor is plugged in and the short harness it ties into is also plugged in over in front of the drivers side cylinder head, so not sure why it isn’t reading…doh…. I didn’t do anything internal to the motor and I think the oil pressure is fine (idled it for 10 minutes and drove it down the street…don’t think it would have survived if it didn’t really have oil pressure!) so I just gotta troubleshoot this…

Man I would about be throwing up if your motor would've gotten hurt after all this. Very thankful it's ok! Carry on killer...

Agreed! Ugh, don’t want to think about that lol…

Just so I’m not crazy, that’s the oil pressure sensor plugged in at the front of the valley cover, right (towards the passenger side cylinder head)?

ZO6Ted · 04-21-2023, 10:51 PM

I'll have to look tomorrow now lol. Had too much fun...

Josh-
Have you put it on the rollers yet to see any improved numbers?

Car is reading zero oil pressure…I don’t think running it in the dyno is a good idea.

laynlo15 · 04-23-2023, 07:07 AM

Think real hard on what you may have done when you were swapping everything out. It can't be an oil pump failure since you had oil pressure when you drove it last.
