Mr. Jim Van Dorn, you have my respect. I did not know there was so many components involve with this engine design. Thank you for taking the time to share this. You hit it on nail when you said my gauge show (CHECK GAUGES). Thats was it showed that morning. The motor haven't start since then. I will not do so until i fine out the reason why? You given me another answer to the problem. You don't know how relief i am.

Do you have a picture of the Oil Pressure Regulating Valve removed?



Any new information?

The cover and scfrews are not in the picture. They are attached to the engine block covering the PRV. After they are removed, there is a snap ring that holds the prv in. Aftrer removal of the snap ring, the tool is inserted into the small hole of the prv. Using the thumb screw and the plate, your can tighten the tool and removev hte prv if it is snug. SOmetimes they come out very easy.

very interesting information about the that valve. I have an LT5 that is ticking for a min or two after WOT at very High RPM's and the knock/tick then goes away. maybe caused by something like this. I have a seperate thread posted here for people that would like a little more information about what the motor is doing and how my car is set up.
