O-ring issue on LM7
Depends on what oil pump? Ls1 I assume?
I copied and pasted this from an old thread
They are color coded for a reason, like stated above, if the pickup tube has a recessed area where the o-ring goes you need the thicker RED o-ring.

using the lm7 oil pump since the motor is already together. its just going on the car to get it running and moving around before the turbo gets here. i will be replacing the oil pump before the build so this is just a momentary thing
