2002 WS6 Attempting Repairs
Hey everybody,
Hoping to get some information and opinions from the guru’s here. I have a definite RMS leak (3rd video) that I took too my local Chevy dealer as I have a pretty good relationship with them plus the guys there build a variety of full on race cars for the owner.
They said that the oil pan and basically every gasket on the engine is leaking and would require dropping the motor and resealing everything and quoted my 9k. I don’t see any signs of leaking from the valves, heads and on my buddies lift I didn’t see the oil pan leaking. They also suggested in that 9k that we open the motor because their lead mechanic said he hears noises center line of the motor that makes him believe there are potential lifter issues, cam issues or pushrod related issues. They also said all my belts and tensioners need replaced.
The first video is after I let it idle down you can an almost chugging noise and a high pitch noise. The second video is after I played what the throttle where the high pitched noise went away but still a chugging sound. The 3rd video is the leak and that’s the only visible leak I could find. They also confirmed the OPS isn’t leaking.
Any insights or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I thought I could post 3 individual videos. Apparently it merges them into 1. Also, this is a bone stock LS1
