Oil sensor Need input
Guys I did a cam swap a while back, at the same time I changed my bad Oil temp sensor behind the intake. So I put the new one on. It ran great for two days :cuss .
Now it bounces all over the place from Zero pressure to 129 sometimes. What can it be? Do you think the new cam is the cause? Thanks

Oh and the process if it is difficult to replace is no if you are mechanically incline. Just need to take the LS1 or LS6 intake off.

Are talking about the one behind the intake right?

Re: Oil sensor Need input (vectorz)
How hard is it to take off the intake? Any hoses or cables? Or is it just making sure to put a new gasket?
Just make sure you have some good needle nose pliers incase the vacuum lines come loose and sometimes impossible to do by hand. Those are behine the intake and can be trouble sometimes. www.ls1howto.com
You don't need a gasket at all when you take the intake off. :cheers:

Ya I know.. LOL. It basically says "take out the sensor, and put the new one in".
I guess I can "Laugh Out Loud" at you too, cause my 14 year old son could do this job...
