Well i never idled higher than 15-16 when it was fully warmed up (200 F) but that was fine with me until this happened.. i am betting there is a leak causing the drop in pressure, problem is i am not seeing a drop in oil level other than the normal consumption and there is no visible oil leak underneath the car or inside the bay, but i do smell burnt oil sometimes.

I would be just speculating as I have no idea , however , that is what I'm guessing. Big job too.

Oil pressure is definitely too low. Normal ranges, depending on temperature, should be 20-30 PSI at idle and 60-70 PSI when reved. I have never seen a LLT with this low of idle oil pressure. Something wrong in my opinion. Another note, the GM oil pressure gage leave a lot to be desired when estimating temperatures between marks. I have always double checked oil pressures with an accurate oil pressure gage with higher resolution.

The oil pressure sender is located in the oil filter housing down low but it is a special metric "O" ring adapter. You must get an adapter that fits the hole in the filter housing and converts it to whatever fitting you need to adapt to the aftermarket oil pressure gauge. Possible a hydraulic supply house would have an adapter fitting. My question is,"How does he know the stock gauge is inaccurate?"

It is preventive maintenance and cheap insurance to replace your timing chain. Catastrophic timing chain failure occurs more often on the V8 LS3 and L99 than the V6 LLT and LFX. It is a good rule of thumb to replace your timing chain and sprocket on your V6 LLT and LFX every 100K miles.

Only the early build 2009 received the ductile chains that stretch.

This confirms. I am after replacement of timing from Cloyes.

I have a car from July 2009. The timing was replaced at 112 thousand km. because there was a camshaft error. I bought the entire timing chain set from Cloyes.

That is pretty good for the orig weak chains, I would think you are good to go for a long time now.
