Default LS1 with no oil pressure at idel and up

a friend of mine has a 99 t/a with 60,000 miles. when you crank the car over it has no oil pressure bc of this condition the motor now knocks. the car has been not driven or started in 4 months sciene this problem started. but now that its gettin warmer he wants to take his car. any ideas on how to fix it. hes on a tight budget so he does not want to do a motor swap if he doesnt have .thanks

Ouch! Spun bearing. Not cheap to fix if the crank is hurt.

Easiest way out is to buy a used short block, a NEW oil pump, and throw it back together. Can probably get away fixing it for 1500-2000 maybe less if you shop around. Good luck

Getting mine rebuilt right now and grand total is 2k. I don't think that is bad with all new parts and a couple upgrades. Hope all works out well I know how much it sucks to screw up your car and have to go without for 4 months while you wait for the money to come.
