Also if i add a part that needs oil wouldnt inturn make my pump work harder and/or my engine need a tad bit more oil? I might need to add this, but im going turbo and building the head up solid! The last head i burnt the valve guides and started puffin alot of black smoke. Im a complete engine rebuild now but am swapping the head! I may be thinkin way to into it but I dont wanna make another mistake! Thx for the help
if you plan on making that reliable you will need to rip apart the bottom end, sure you can make it last with the stock LS bottom end, but it's not worth jack unless it can get up in the rev range, the stock rotating assembly just doesnt allow for the heightend ammount of stress cause by lofty RPM's
