So mines use to sit at 30 at hot idle now sits a 15 - 20 and people are telling me that’s too low and i should just get a new oil pump in my 2012 ss
@johnnyaberg9617Ай бұрын
It has been reported that there are several issues with the L99, including cam bearings that slip out of place, leading to reduced oil pressure. Additionally, the seal on the oil pump neck can crack, causing low oil pressure. Specific AFM (Active Fuel Management) problems have been noted, where the special lifters sometimes stick and lose their functionality. Low oil pressure due to leakage at the numerous seals, including the AFM system, is also common. Generally, an acceptable oil pressure for many V8 engines at warm idle can range from 20 to 60 psi. According to GM's service manual, the minimum acceptable oil pressure at a warm engine is 6 psi at 1000 rpm, 18 psi at 2000 rpm, and 24 psi at 4000 rpm.

I deleted dod and put tsp 2.2 cam and didn't change oil pump or pick up tube o-ring and I'm not sure if that's what's making me have low oil pressure but it stays around 20psi at all times. It's high miles but the heads and everything we're done to match the cam. It runs great and I am not even sure it's actually low pressure

IMHO, the Camaro is a Corvair design reboot. It shares many styling queues from the second generation Corvair, inside and out, but changed and adapted enough to have its own identity and front engine layout. If the Corvair's reputation hadn't been so sullied by 1966, I can't help but think the Corvair name may have succeeded to the new Panther/Camaro. Many styling queues are carried over from the Corvair. Interesting side note, ever notice the Camaro never had the very popular round taillights until 1970? That was the first year there was no Corvair in the line-up with round taillights. Many styling similarities can be found between the 2nd generation Corvair and 1st generation Camaro. Personally, in high school, during the mid-seventies, my first gotta have car was a Camaro, but it was the uniqueness and design of the 2nd gen Corvair that actually stole my heart.

This promotional film was created for the annual summer preview conference (dealer introduction) attended by the owners of Chevrolet franchises. Likely, it was also shown later at each Chevrolet franchise to the sales team. The early introduction 1965 Ford Mustang really caught General Motors off guard... which the Chevrolet Division at the time trying to wring out as many compact sporty car sales as possible with the Corvair Monza/Corsa coupes and convertibles. Thus, a quick management decision was made immediately after the April 1964 introduction of the Mustang to engineer the Camaro (and its derivative the Pontiac Firebird which debuted as a 1967 1/2 model). The first generation Mustang had a narrower straight line linear look... but the first generation Camaro was styled to have a wider rounded look on its bodysides (somewhat muted with the 1969 facelift). Dave Holls is better known as a prominent designer of the iconic 1959 Cadillac.

Those were the days, ordering whatever engine & accesories you could afford to spend a few hundred dollars more for.
