I wasn't intending to offend anyone, the 98 LS1 is a great engine. When I first got interested in doing an LS1 swap I purchased an 02 LS1 and they shipped the wrong engine so I asked a few questions about the 98 that I received. I got some comments from people about the oil passages and pcv setup. I was just trying to pass on that information. Remember these are just some peoples opinions. The fact is the 98 would be a great choice unless you plan on adding a turbo or mass power down the road.
Here's one example of a comment I got:
I have heard that the oil passages on the 97-98 blocks were pretty small, and that was the problem gm fixed on the 99-04 blocks. Basically the passages were 2 small holes side by side and the later blocks had just a big opening back there.
And another example:
I've heard about oiling problems in the 98's,
at least the oil pump in my 98 stopped working and crashed my motor.
