By Larry Carley. One of the main reasons why dry sump oil systems are used in these applications is to reduce the risk of oil starvation or aeration. Power Advantages Another reason for using a dry sump oil system is to reduce windage, oil splash and drag inside the crankcase. The ability to pull more crankcase vacuum requires more suction pumps, typically four, five or six.
One critical limitation is the design of the internal oil pump. This engine uses a gerotor-style pump driven by the crankshaft, this is the same for both the wet sump and OEM "dry sump" configurations. However, the gerotor pump starts to show its weakness when the engine RPM increases over what the engineers intended, around RPM. At this speed, the oil is not able to fill the larger swept volume of each pumping cavity fast enough at the inlet of the pump.
This causes cavitation that becomes exponentially worse as the RPM increases. The solution to this problem is to remove the internal gerotor oil pump completely and replace it with a true dry sump oiling system that uses a spur gear style oil pressure pump. The pressure section of all Dailey Engineering oil pumps is made of a 9 tooth spur gear with specially designed pump housings that allow the "SP Series" pumps to run over RPM pump speed without cavitation.
Switching over to a dry sump oiling system on your LS engine has many other advantages as well. Please see our Technical page to explore the advantages of a dry sump system. Serpentine Belt Position. To select the proper system for your LS application, you need to know which serpentine belt drive position you are using. Systems are categorized by damper configuration below. ARE pumps or in the case of scavenge only systems, from the fitting in the pan that supplies the internal oil pump.
This line can then be allowed to hang down below the tank bottom and drain. Most of the oil will be syphoned out, as although the fitting is on the lower side of the tank, ARE tanks have an internal tube going to the bottom. These should be removed to check the screens for debris. At the same time, this will allow the oil that remains in the engine and pan to drain. We recommend using the Stock or equivalent pan gasket, with a light film of silicone for sealant.
The stock bolts may also be used. On Stage I systems, where the stock internal pump is still used for pressure, the special red fitting , with special lip seals is used to form a suction tight seal between the pump and the oil pan, as the supply of oil from the bottom of the dry sump oil tank to the pressure pump.
If you are using a Dual Row Chain, there are 3mm.
