oil pump problem i just got a new ls6 oil pump from thunder racing along with my new cam and springs, the box was a little messed up but i was not to worried about it but than when i got it open the box the oil pump was in was real messed up so i took the pump out and the cover had surface rust on it and so did the smaller gear inside the pump when i took the cover off the back of the cover also had surface rust. i do not think the pump is damaged but i dont know wether to use it or send it back let me know what you think

i got it from thunder racing as the ported and shimed ls6 oil pump i think i will put some oil on it and take a fine meatel brush to it and if it does not come off realy easly i am going to send it back but the problem is the engine is on a dead line and i need to finish. i am going to call thow and ask if it is normal for thunder to send out rusty parts. it does **** me off but it sounds like it might be a frequent problem witch realy makes me mad.
