Update: Oil pump is off.The blue O ring was no longer fully seated inside the pump since I had to clock the pump to get it out. So I have no clue if it was flush and seated before I removed it. I will say the O ring looks fine.
I also found out that Melling recommends the Black O ring for the straight tube pick up. I dont know if that could have been the problem or not. I read that the black is direct replacement for the OEM blue O ring.

I'm ready to install the new 10296 melling. Most people say to run the low pressure blue spring ON A STOCK ENGINE. My engine is a rebuilt L92 short block (stock internals)....i have no clue on the bearing clearances...do I go with the blue or red spring???....red is currently installed in the pump.

Guys check out this new thread. Im trying to bolt the new oil pump on and it is not lining up with the oil pump. Anyone ever see this?? I wonder if this could have been my issue?? Thanks!!
