Email Steve Harmon (SJH). All you are doing (to my knowledge) is removing any little burrs that may make the moving parts stick under stress. Of course Im not sure what the shops do to em to pump up the pressure so much. LGM got like 50psi at idle i heard.

 

Stiffer spring....

 

... shimming the spring...

I believe they also open up in the passage where the pick up tube goes. If you look up in the passage, you can see a lip that is rough and protrudes in the passage.

I think jmx has a nice picture of this on his site.

I believe that is the only "porting" that is done if any. If I could do it over again, I would have done the work myself after seeing just how easy it is to work on these pumps. The manual even list torque spec's on all bolts. I wish I would have tested the spring in mine to see what the difference is in spring pressures.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

ahhh...the spring...im a dumbass. thanks matt. when did you move to frisco?

 

i wouldnt worry bout it, ported or modified oil pumps die like stock pumps. i replaced mine with a stock pump 40psi at idle.

 

I replaced mine with the new engine and used the ls6 pump. I have 50 psi hot and 75 psi cold. I removed the piston and cleaned any burs with Emory cloth. there realy was not any burs to clean off though.

 

I want the best possible oil pressure <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Where would I get one of the different springs? I guess I'll just take it apart & see what it looks like in there <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

If ya want some nice pressure, try to hammer a 918 in there. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Is Joseph not porting oil pumps?

Yea anything other than a 918 might break at any time causing....guess what, pump failure.

If that isn't a classic quote, I haven't heard one.

I'm still laughing. Good Stuff.

Priceless my butt Trevor really thinks a 918 will fit in a oil pump! Thats why we keep him in the external section!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

I may have to port it out...If Jason does it we may have the oil pumping back to the pan instead of the filter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

Shut up Joseph everyone knows you can run more compression with a reverse flow oil pump!
