Even a small dent in the SR pan is enough to damage the oil pick-up. There less then 1/4 of clearance between the bottom of the pick-up and the oil pan. Esp the redtop pick-ups as they are the worst ones. The only wiring issue you might have is the diff O2 sensors… the rest should be fine if its a late model redtop harness. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sr-oil-starvation/103151)._
