I was just looking for a diagram of one with door bars.
LS1s are a good example of this. 200k+ street miles? No problem. But put them through a few laps on track and they go all explodey.

It's fine on the street but under HPDE/TT/racing conditions, there is an issue with the oil pump's pickup tube and you can starve the motor. But, there's a $250 aftermarket oil pan that fixes the issue and adds capacity at the same time. That sort of stuff is what we mean when we say "reliability" in this context.
