Since you started this thread I replaced my leaking power steering pump to developed a leak that cost me 1.5 quarts over a 160 mile drive. Ive got everything apart and I hope that following along with everyones advice i can get this mess fixed. I think it was the damper seal in the timing chain cover but I have to replace the pan, timing cover and water pump gaskets to do it.
Everything is apart and ready to go back together, just waiting on a high pressure oil pump. My oil pressure was steady at 30 psi all day long but I want more pressure for spirited high rpm romps.
congratulations on a dry engine
Thanks

I would just buy the HP oil pump pressure spring and swap it out. Its like $4 at the GM dealer.
EDIT: May be a challenge to find it these days but the GM P/N is 3848911.
