I dont think the LS6 Z06's had any oiling issues for sure, all of those were wet sump, they went to dry sump with the LS7 introduction, but hey they'd probably look a bit silly introducing a stock engine with titanium valves, rods, cnc ported cylinder heads stock, and damn near .600 lift stock, with a regular oiling system

Oh lets not forget that the LS7's dry sump pump is crank driven, and not by a seperate belt, so you wont be having any belt failure taking out your oiling system



Now back to whats important, Lexus V8s, I saw one, taken apart, from an IS-F ! Do not use lexus V8s, they all blow up, quickly.
