Some of you guys are kinda funny thinking Chevies don’t have oiling issues. I swear they have more issues than anyone, and running slower ET’s.


Really? Because I’ve built my share of 8000 RPM plus small and big block chevy’s and the biggest issue is getting a decent pan on them.

I worked on the one time record holding BB/A Comp Eliminator small block chevy which is blown gas. He had to run a set sump by rule and it went through the lights at 10,500 plus depending on how the run went. He ran a stock pump. He had a nice pan and that was it.

When he was killing parts, knocking the rods out and fighting it in general it was 100% self inflicted. He had the 2 step set wrong, and it hurt parts in the first .5 of the run, but it didn’t knock the rod off until 600-700 feet out.

Once he corrected that it was flawless.

If a chevy isn’t oiling the rods, it’s because the nut behind the wheel changed something.
