Re: Another step forward....
If it isn't one thing....it is another.
The oil pump I have here is fucked up. The helix number in the pickup tube bolt is coming out. I can't torque the bolt to even 106 in/pounds. Now I get to try to deal with SLP and have this pump here by next weekend. Bet that doesn't happen..... Couple more pics.... The lumpy bumpstick on its way in....

Re: Another step forward....
Well, I don't know anyone that had done a major project like yours and hasn't run into snags. So unfortunetly gotta get use to broken bolts and oil pumps.

Re: Another step forward....
Yeah, I know.
Just when I thought I had everything, something vital is shit. Couldn't have been a simple bolt I was short or something simple....

Re: Another step forward....
What I need today is a tap and die kit, and a helicoil kit. Maybe I can fix the oil pump so I don't have to deal with sending this one back.

Re: Another step forward....
There isn't some place local where they sell the same model oil pump. So you can just buy another one and return the one you have thats broken?. Maybe not but here in central Jersey there is a speed shop every mile.

Re: Another step forward....
Not so lucky here. There are only a handful of LT1/LS1 shops around here.
On top of that, it is a ported LS6 pump. Sold by SLP. The pump isn't a problem. Might have been the bolt as well. Either way, needs fixed. Problem is, SLP isn't the greatest about getting stuff out fast. I wanted to have the motor in the car next weekend, but that looks rough now. The helicoil is backing out, should be able to pick up a kit for cheap and fix it myself.
