SLP Oil pump
SLP Oil pump So apparently I had a SLP oil pump installed when my cam install was done. I dont see SLP on it anywhere like in there add. Does anyones elses have this?
Also, it looks like someone just took a dremel tool to the inside for 5 seconds. Its a night and day difference from my TSP ported I just put it, thats a piece of art.

So I sent some photos to SLP, first glance he said it is not his pump. He is going to verify with engineers to see if it is definetely not his.
So if its not an SLP pump, then i paid for a SLP pump to be installed and it never got in there and my pump pressure relief valve in the pump stuck open and caused my bearing to go and my oil pressure to start dropping at high RPM. Hope this isnt the case

I can't possibly imagine how you can determine the quality of the porting without opening up the pump. The majority of the porting is done to the outlet area within the pump, like this:
Anything that you can see from outside the pump is likely of very little value.

Mate I am blind in my left eye and I can still see; where the pick up bolts on there is a step that has been ground un even and most good jobs such as a SLP or a Manley/Melling don’t have the step there at all. Maybe you have worse eye sight than me.
But hey, we all know what opinions are worth.
oh well 
I figured out the pump, I paid for a LS6 pump, not SLP. I checked the part number and it came out with the LS6 pump. I just got my Max Jax lift so time to pull the motor.
That pump looks really dirty, isn't it only 2 years old? What the longest time frame and miles you went with changing the oil? I know with the flash can make internals look browner but that looks like there's sludge in the corners. Did the motor ever over heat? Do you have the pics form inside. The pickup tube looks opened up to were the pickup tube thickness buts up to it. Its not the full size like jim85 iroc says. Why did you changing it, I could guess the oil sludge started to stick the bypass?
