Should our friend install the new screen and deflector too?

I sure feel better and looking at inside of LS1/6 it is no wonder it washes out. That pan is so wide and flat--I bet 2 quarts could hide in one of the wings under side load.

Wouldn't a real race pan with traps be better than a LS2 pan?

A Canton pan may be better, but the LS2 looks like it should contain oil for pickup much better than LS1 which is wide and flat.

If you are that motivated, a Accusump is a consideration.
--update--
I finally blew my LS1. Looks like the dreaded rod bolt stretch, so pan is going on LS2 stroker.
