LS3 rebuild help
Hey guys, My turbo camaro has been plagued with problems and has yet again got a boo boo. It was saying, "low oil pressure, shut off now". The oil gauge read 0 and the oil pressure sending unit had been soaked from what i thought was the previous incident where the valve cover gasket blew out by the #8 cyl. and it went to shit like it knocked a ring off. I replaced the sending unit and then tried again. This happened...
Idk what that was but I've started disassembly so far and so far I can only tell the valve cover blew out by the #1 cyl. It did it by #8 last time. havent taken the covers off yet though. clearing out the bay still. Anyon who has some input or suggestions maybe. I'm open to all help and advice. Thanks everyone.

I would say that if You are pushing out valve cover gaskets then the pressure inside the engine is way too high. Could be blowing out other seals as well. IDK.... I have a little turbo car that I play with, but never anything like that.

How much boost are you running? Might also look into the spring in the blow off valve might be too rigid. Tone it down until things work together and then slowly increase the boost.
