No oil pressure after LS1 to LS6 sqap
Converted my 2000 LS1 to an LS6, with 243 heads then new cam and lifters etc. Then installed a FAST 102 LSXR, with a 92mm throttle body. When the car first ran for couple seconds it seemed louder than normal, then upon restarting only a max of 15lbs of oil pressure. I am thinking oil pump problems but I thought I would ask if anyone else had similar problems.

Yes we pulled the oil pump off and replaced the o-ring. we are hoping that is the cause. Have to work a few days here so car is being delayed until I can give it a couple of days in a row.

I'm chasing the same problem. Seems like there's been alot of oil pressure problems lately on the forums. I haven't got a chance to take a look what the problem is on mine but I think it's my oil pressure relief valve is stuck or something to do with the pump.
Keep us posted I did the same swap on my camaro
