Funny part about it is, i thought it was actually leaking a little bit of oil into the engine, etc. but when i took it all apart, everything else internally looked as clean as the day i installed it.

EDIT: also, that oil light lingering for a bit longer than usual could be pointing to the oil pump, its most likely on its way out. I would replace it ASAP.

if your ls/vtec is leaking from around the area. then you might want to check your tap and plug you did on the head when you did the conversion. it might be leaking from the head where the plug goes and since there is no oil passage on ls blocks from the head it leaks out.

you will leak about all 4 quarts in a few minutes if you didnt tap it at all. due to the fact vtec heads have that hole for oil to go through and ls blocks dont have it....but if its just leaking a little bit then you might have not tapped it right and its maybe leaking...

just saying. since you said 2 or 3 ls/vtecs leak oil from around there.

if you dont findout wat it is, check your tap and plug for the head.
