MANY LS ENGINES ARE REBUILT
WITH HIGHER-STRENGTH INTERNAL
COMPONENTS, INCLUDING A
FORGED STEEL CRANKSHAFT,
FORGED CONNECTING RODS AND
FORGED PISTONS – PARTS DESIGNED
TO HOLD UP TO THE SUSTAINED
HIGH-RPM PERFORMANCE ON
A LONG DESERT COURSE.
A HIGH-PERFORMANCE OILING
SYSTEM IS A MUST ON A RACING
LS ENGINE AND SOME RACERS
EMPLOY A DRY-SUMP-TYPE SYSTEM.
THE DRY-SUMP OILING SYSTEM
REPLACES THE CONVENTIONAL
OIL PAN WITH A LARGE, SEPARATE
OIL TANK AND SPECIALIZED PUMPS
TO PUSH OIL INTO AND DRAW IT
OUT OF THE ENGINE. THIS TYPE
OF OILING SYSTEM ALLOWS MORE
OIL TO CIRCULATE THROUGH THE
ENGINE TO MAINTAIN THE OPTIMAL
OIL TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE.
