WTF oil pressure issue
WTF oil pressure issue ok i am trying to prime up my engine Coils unhooked inj fuses pulled and when i tried to start it a few days ago the pressure came up good on it just by the starter. then it would not come back
Today i pulled it down checked the O ring and even packed the oil pump full of vasaline then put it back together
ok then when i tried to prime it the pressure came up well i let it sit about 20 sec. and tried it again and nothing it will not pump any more
this is a almost brand new TSP ported LS6 with only about 300 miles on it
This thing has drove me to the point of going crazy not to mention i feel stupid because every time i get one thing fixed something else goes wrong
Im down to begging and even making some of my friends mad to the point they wont answer there phone when i call
SO please if you know of something to try please post it

when you took it down and checked the o-ring, did you check the pickup tube to make sure it was seated on the pump flush?.. what about the pickup tube's pickup.. did you check to make sure you have about 3/8" from the bottom of the pan ?.
Check the pump's bypass sping/valve, it could be stuck open.
What else did you change ?
