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.
