Motor oil revelations !

Yeah? No changes to the oiling system? The bottom end is still the same 2- or 4-bolt mains? Same bores and strokes? Same rod and cap design? Same skirt depth? Same weight?

those are just revisions and after thoughts..... it's only been 5 gen changes since then, those are considered "major changes"

you know fuel injected has been around for a while since 1957

those are sub revisions with in a generation.. Rev: LS2 ,L98,L76,LY6 etc..

not much has changed since 1968 on the v8 engines only minor modifications to improve emissions and mpg slightly..
the only big changes were to the intake, ignition system and injection system.. it's still the same ole cast iron engine under that plastic cover..


the major change was on the Gen 4(inbetweener) when aluminum block, VVT was added & high pressure variable oil pump* hybrid model only..

Brent, that's just not so anymore. About the only thing the LS has in common with the SBC is bore spacing, the oiling system is entirely different for starters.

It’s really quite simple to understand.

Annnd we're off and running.........

The only common parts on a 283/327 SBC and a LS engine are.... well there aren't any......

The block, oiling, cylinder heads, etc. are completely different.

All generations used gas and air so basically the same thing

and they are different gens, that explains why they're completely different. no duh.. each gen is just a redesign .. duh

No, its a COMPLETELY new design ground up, clean sheet of paper etc. The LS and old SBC are completely different engines.

The difference in LS engines, may be generational until you get to the Direct Injection engines.
