Re: Does the ls1 oil pump have to be primed? how? i just threw in a little oil before installation. i think this just coats the pump gears and it is not a prime in the true sence...
The pump sits above the oil level in the pan anyway....

Re: Does the ls1 oil pump have to be primed? how? When I got mine from Katech, it was in a Zip Lock bag covered in oil...it wasnt dripping or anything, but everything was lubed enough that I didn't worry about it. Just make sure theres at least some surface oil on the inside of it and put it in and you'll be fine.
