Oil Pump R&R on C5 ?
Has anyone done this with the engine in a C5? The book/dealer says the front suspension/cradle has to drop. LS1Howto.com shows the install on a Camaro and you only have to drop the oil pan about an inch. to access the pick up tube bolt. Any ideas?
Thanks

Jim....Why are you wanting to get to your oil pump??....alot of work if your not already involved in a cam swap etc.

0 oil pressure at up start for 10-15 seconds and then pressure builds to somewhat normal after that. It's at the dealer now and they say bad oil pump. I have an extended warranty but they probably will give me hell and plus the dealer wants almost $400 out of my pocket to pay for moving my LT headers out of the way to access the starter motor etc. Plaus I have a $100 deductable on the extended warranty. Maybe I can do it myself and only spend $100 on a new pump.
