Ported and blueprinted LS6 oil pump Does anyone know if the ported and blueprinted LS6 oil pump from Tick Performance is shimmed? It doesn't say anything about it being shimmed in the description, but I was just wondering if anyone had personal knowledge of this particular pump... Thanks!

Thanks man, and I will let you know how it turns out. Actually seems very straight forward and easy. Here is a link I just happened to find after doing endless searches this morning haha... https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...pump-help.html
There is a link within that link that has a nice pdf.

I suggest not taking the short route on something as vital as a pump. Def not an area to "experiment" on. They are not that expensive...just buy one ready to go from someone like Texas Speed or SLP. Look for your bargains and money savers somewhere else...

Doesnt "blue printed" mean building something to origonal OEM Specs?

The whole oil pump thing is not hard. If you would ever open one up you would know.

I am overly cautious when it comes to certain components. I just feel the pump is cheap enough to buy it already done.

yeah, against the origonal design. They are building the engine (or part) to the exact OEM spec (Blue prints).

That is the pump I recommend for 90% of the cam swaps I sell and that we do here at the shop. That is a LS6 pump FYI.
