spacers for oil pump hey well i gotta another question for all of yall.... i am putting my 99 ls1 back together and i have hit a hard spot. i put a new double roller timing chain on, and i also bought a ls6 oil pump to through on as well. well i didnt know that i was supposed to have spacers for this thing until like 5 mins ago, and now i cant get my motor back together. so i guess this is a question of where can i get the spacers for this pump to fit?!? can i use regular washers or what? please any help is wanted! thanks in advance

Try calling one of the sponsors to the right hand side of the screen, maybe they can sell you just the shims. I don't think using regular washers is a good idea, because you'd have to find some way to hold it in place to align the holes just right while tightening the oil pump to the block.

There are 2 spacers, one for each side. And one has a 3rd hole for the oil passage in it, so washers will NOT work! I'd call SDPC (Scoggin Dickey). They are a Chevy Dealer & sell lots of them & should be able to get you going.

I bought my rollermaster double roller timing set from someone on here and it was NIB, opened but never used. They sent me the spacers too and I installed them with my ported LS6 oil pump.... no problems. I'd just print out those pics someone posted up above and make some of have a shop make them... shouldn't be hard at all... you just need the thickness and general shape. Take them that along with your oil pump and I'm sure you can get some... that or else keep begging some of the sponsors on here for a pair of them

Just in case you couldn't read the dial indicator, my Rollmaster double chain instructions states the 2 shims are 3 mm thick. Good luck.
Edit: Maybe shoot Rollmaster an email and see if they can send you some good will spacers. Their address is romac@eis.net.au

dan, where you at? my rollermaster set is sitting here on my floor. i'm in dfw, if you're local we could meet up and take it down to a machining shop and they could cnc you some parts i'm sure.
