I feel the lsa's get some premature wear upon start up and if the car is not up to temp before seeing some load may be a contributing factor.. I think we should gather some data.. like which bearing/pics, oil specs, oil psi, start up treatment,mileage. etc... might be able to get a better understanding of whats causing these issues. but there are a lot of factors to consider ...

I could give my personal experience. If anyone would like. To Talley them up lol

Sure are
But I guess I’ll be at least making sure my factory oil pump is good. If it is. I’ll leave it alone. If not. Then I may upgrade to HV one. Regardless a better oil is going in it. With e85 dilution. I feel like 5-30 M1 isn’t going to cut it. And have my Rev limit moved from 7k back down to like 6500.

Geez man. Sorry to hear that. You going 416 or just rebuild?
