Oil pump problem Hi guys, Just finished my build and I have a GM performance oil pump but my oil pressure is only reading 20 psi hot at idle. What is the problem I feel like I should have more oil pressure. My rod and main clearance are .002. Do you guys think I should swap out the pump and then I will be fine. Any help will be appreciated!!!

Yeah, it's the o-ring. It's really a PIA the get the o-ring in correctly. I put grease on the o-ring and up in the pump to help it slid in without kincking. It's a terrible thing to think about removing the balancer to be able to get to the pump but it's really the best bet on what's wrong.
