So many people think that replacing a LS based oil pump is just a simple remove and replace operation. You have to get it centered properly on the crank or you'll burn it up in short fashion. The Oring is also tempermental, it's very easy to pinch it in the pump. Often times the sump tube presses the Oring proportionally more to one side than the other and causes an air suction leak in the pickup tube. Another thing that happens is the pickup tube get placed too close to the bottom of the pan and causes the pump to cavitate. There should be from 3/8 to 1/2 gap from the bottom of the pan to the sump. The oring issue, I like to pack silicone in the area behind the oring to serve as a secondary seal to the pickup tube.

idk i didnt do the work... i had it in the shop for a oil pan an rear cover leak. all i know is the shop had the tranny out 2 times, pan off 3 an replaced the oil pump.... Back when i had the cam put in, i found it had a supn cam berring an only replaced the cam berrings never touched the bottom end...

I sure would be taking it back to them if it only lived 50 miles after losing oil pressure due to their oil pump install. Not just anyone can build a Gen3 properly. Your pump is either galled up or the plunger hung in it blowing all oil pressure out the relief port, likely.

so Ive noticed from alot of people that this is a problem when building these motors. What kind of steps can be taken to ensure it doesnt happen? I like RedHeartbeat's silicon idea, any other little tricks to help prevent failure?
Always buying things I dont need to impress people I dont know
How do you center the pump, when I did my cam swap i didnt do anything like that.
You probably didnt take the pump off.Originally Posted by 6.0vortecchevy

The best advice I have ever heard:... Only take B( . Y . )ST advice from someone that is CURRENTLY running a turbo setup close to, or bigger than what you want......
