No oil pressure at idle, but increases with rpm Hey everyone im new to this as you can tell, i have a 2000 camaro z28 ls1. 224 585 114 cam ls6 oil pump trunion kit and get the heads done. So the issue im having is at idle my guage is at 0 oil pressure. When i rev it up to about 3000 rpm its about 25-30 psi. Can anyone help and point me in the direction i should be looking at. Thanks.

At 177K I would do some investigation either way. Slapping a new pump on is good insurance for an engine with that many miles. Could also see if there is a blockage in the main oil galley.

^^^^^Problem found.
I would take the front and rear covers back off and take the front and rear oil galley plugs out and see if you can see down the entire length of the passage. For that to happen, the oil pump will also need to come off, which would be a good opportunity for inspection. Did you forget the $4 O-ring that goes on the pickup tube into the pump itself?

see if they put the oil restrictor back in the engine, it will in the back of the engine, you must remove the trans, and rear cover to see if its there. you could try another pump maybe a HV and see if it makes a difference. if it doesnt well your SOL
