Oil Pump Assembly?
Oil Pump Assembly? is there any way to reassemble the oil pump. i took mine apart to make sure that there was no debris in it after my old motor bit the dust. put new motor back in primed it, started it up for like 5-10 sec. and had no oil pressure. primed it again, took a valve cover off and the only lube up there was assembly lube? so any suggestions on fixing this problem? thought it was a sensor but all conneections are good and like i said it has no oil in the vavle covers. did i damage the new motor? please help, im goin crazy
well that could be the case then. i have continued to prime it and still no pressure on startup. so you are sayint the o is screwed up somehow. thats nuts, this thing is pissin me off. now i have to take it all back apart again. not today. im done for now

Check the O ring, and maybe even the pressure releif valve. Did you crank the motor over without fuel or spark to prime everything first? It may take a few seconds to circulate oil if its a new motor and the lifters etc arent full yet.

i soaked the lifters in oil for hours before installing them. and i primed and stared the engine and nothing. primed several times and check several times. still no pressure. fn o ring. will find out on monday i guess

Did you swap over the oil restrictor plug in the back?

w2w said they did. i mean i sent them the back cover and kevin said HE saw them put it in i dont know for sure. he said he saw it go in so i believe him. i dont know for sure if they put it in but i would assume they did. i pray that its that o ring, putting that restricor plug in would consist of taking the motor back out right?
No, you will only have to pull the trans and rear cover off to get to that restrictor. You can check to see if it's there by removing the oil plug at the back corner of the block.
I'm not saying the engine builder didn't put it in......just giving you a heads up that it could be the cause. Could be the pump too. The pump isn't too bad to put back together. The cover is torqued to 106 in lbs. Make sure the pressure relief valve is good and clean before you put it back together.

On the pump there is an allen head bolt on the end. When you take that off there is a little piston and a spring inside. When you pull that out you can spray it down good with brake cleaner to get all the crap out.
Here is a description of how it works and where it is. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...l+pump+porting
A lot more in depth than you really need to know. Lol!
