I want to shim my oil pump spring. How do I do this?
I am putting together a 6.0 with L92's. The motor is on the stand and ready. What are the steps to doing this? Im pretty sure i have to take the oil pump off. I was thinking .100" shim. Thanks fellas.

It's super easy. Just find a nut small enough to fit in the Allen head cap that screws into the pump where the spring goes. That'll shim it just right. If nothing else take the cap with you to a harware store and find one that fits. I try to get it as close to the brim as I can find. It works great.

Nuts or washers. It still does the same thing but you can usually find a single nut thick enough to work. Yup just right under the Allen head screw. The Allen head screw has an indention in it for the spring to set in. Just fill it up almost to the top and your good to go.
