I did have to purchase an additional gasket kit for the front cover and water pump. I did install a new water pump at the same time since I have a 130000 miles on this motor. I was on a road trip when the factory oil pump failed, the relief valve stuck open. It did free up when I ran some Marvel Mystery Oil in the motor , but I went ahead and replaced the pump anyway. I attached pictures of what the factory pump was giving me for psi and has from day one. I used to see 28 psi to 25 psi range at full temp in the winter months. It is the HD package the PSI was always on the low side due to the oil cooler. After install of the oil pump at full temp I'm seeing close to 40psi Temperatures are also running a little cooler because of the new water pump and a complete coolant flush, along with that I went with a 180 degree t-stat . All in all very happy with this oil pump, I did just install it. I don't have any mileage on it yet but I'm sure it'll hold up Melling is known for quality products. I'm confident it'll hold up to the test of time. Overall the install took me 2 days but I did run into some snags. Around 8 hours per day, I did skip dropping the oil pan and front differential to get to the bolt that holds the collector in. I was able to work that bolt out at first I used a bent 10 millimeter wrench to get it loose. Then I tied some fish string to it and backed it out the rest of the way with a hook tool. Took a lot of patience but it worked. When I reinstalled it I put that bolt in the hole that's more accessible, I added a washer so it would push the tube into the oil pump, and used a lot of red Loctite.

Amazing product. Don’t buy anything else but this ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Let me guess, you're having the dreaded LS/Vortec low oil pressure problem... *by J***Y on October 5, 2023* Well, this is going to help, but it's not your problem. 6.0 iron block guys, check your pickup tube o-ring first and change your oil to 15w40. If you're getting sub-20psi hot idle oil pressure, your cam bearings are shot. This pump won't fix low oil pressure at idle. That's not it's purpose. It will however give you 50+ psi just off idle and is consistent, if you use the COPO Camaro spring that's included in a separate bag. LQ4 owners, you WILL need to slightly lower the oil pan in every application to do this job by itself. Your pickup tube doesn't have the cheesy welded flange that you can easily turn around on all other LS engines. You need to drop the pan about 1" to gain access to the pickup tube bolt. I didn't remove the oil pan bolts, just loosened to their max and dropped the pan slightly. With 5w30 oil using the COPO spring on a 265k mile LQ4 with worn cam bearings, the engine will attain 20 psi at hot idle and 50+ psi above that. Same engine using 15w40 will net 35-37 psi hot idle and 50+ psi above idle. The pressure regulator is set to somewhere between 50 and 55 psi. All thsi being said, my LQ4's bottom end is healthy. The only problem I know of is cam bearings worn out of spec causing low oil pressure. This oil pump will help if you use the right combination of oil and pump regulator spring. ## Frequently Bought Together - Engine Oil Pump - FEL-PRO TCS 45993 Engine Timing Cover Gasket Set for Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - Camshaft Retainer Plate Gasket Compatible with LS Series Engines, &Bolt Kit ARP 134-1003 Gen III IV V for GM LS1 LS2 LS3 4.8 5.3L 6.0L 6.2L Vortec Corvette Cam --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/13785911-engine-oil-pump](https://www.desertcart.in/products/13785911-engine-oil-pump) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
