Holley LS Oil Pans – Which One Works Best?
Holley LS Oil Pans - 302-1, 302-2, 302-3 On Project No-Name Chevelle we have been using the Holley 302-1 oil pan for years. With the stroker LS3 it was the perfect pan for the engine and the car.

Our guess is that an injector was stuck open, which filled a cylinder with fuel, and then when we tried to crank the engine over, it hydro-locked and snapped the rod.
