Re: Woo-hoo! On cold start up I would have a "Low Oil Pressure" message on the DIC and oil pressure would read 0 for about 5-10 seconds. At idle I was only seeing 15-20psi and at WOT I was seeing about 45-50. Sustained WOT (all 4 gears)or what seemed to be hard cornering would also give me another "Low Oil Pressure" message on the DIC and the guage would read 0 psi until I backed off.
I think the problem with mine was a sticking OPRV (Oil Pressure Relief Valve.) The ARE LS6 pump is modded - I believe the pickup valve is ported and it includes a thicker shim for the spring. Bottom line is plenty of oil pressure now. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
