hey guys im doing alot of changes here soon .i only have about 10k on this motor but it has low idle oil pressure as far as im concerned.like 25-30lbs most of the time .as soon as i give it a tap of the gas it progresses up to 70 80 lbs so i just want too be safe and install a excellent oil pump.what cha got for me guys.it just weird it is a 06 motor.always been this way.brand names or links would be nice.thanks ahead
I put the melling high pressure high volume pump on my 6L. I will let everyone know how it all works. It is a nice pump, and had no issues with it clearing my comp billlet double roller timing chain. It will be running within a couple weeks.
let me know,thanks
Just put the hp/sv on my 6l today. I used the shims that came with timing set. Pump to chain is great. Pump to front cover is bad. I will try it tomorrow without the shims.Quote:

shims with timing set? or shims with pump? either way youll need to modify the inside of the timing cover, the pump will hit the chain if the shims arent in place. i know with a melling anyway!Quote:
