Low Oil Pressure

Ok guys I recently had Damaged my head valves on a bad timing on the chain, well I put another set of 317's put some new lifters and a ls2 timing chain, I turned the truck on and everything looks to be fine engine doesnt shake or anything no noise but my oil pressure is slow like at around 30, the only different thing I did was that I took my 3200 converter off and put my original back on.... could the low oil pressure be because of the original converter in other words the "Tune" and I also forgot to mention I have a ported oil pump that I bought a month ago!!!!! and this is on a LQ4

I second that. Its pretty common to not have them seat right and pinch one side, then bleed the other. Check your O-ring.

The O ring was the issue with my car having hardly any pressure. I third that motion.

Make sure the oil sender is good, sometimes when you pull the trans the sender will hit the firewall or get pulled with some wires and break. If your local I have a manual gauge and an adapter that screws onto the oil filter adapter. DFW
