TonyTiger - I have not had that problem on a Chevy, but it sounds a lot like the problem you would get when the sending unit sticks. I would hope that as long as you checked and have sufficient oil and you heard no lifter clatter, you are okay. Easy for me to say as it is not my engine. Sending units are fairly inexpensive - or I should say were inexpensive. There really is only a couple things with oil you are concerned about - enough oil and the pump circulating the oil. If the pump were not circulating the oil, bad things would have already happened.
Dario - Nice idea on cutting the skirt and hinging it up for access to the battery. You made a smart decision to get the bolted on type of stainless steel inserts. Out here in the midwest we do not need to worry about toll roads. The one thing I would like about the inserts is the ability to check the tire pressure.
I've seen the advertisements for the little transmitters that screw on the valve stem and send a signal to the dash displaying low tire pressure. Would like to find someone with a year or so experience with these. One such company is the TireSentry . Always a little afraid that either the battery would quit without my knowing it, or that the device itself would leak small amounts of air.
