Guess Will Handzel owes me a new oil pump
Gotta wonder how many other "mistakes" are in the How to build High Performance LS1/LS6 book. On page 94 picture24 says the oil pump front plate bolts are 8mm and are torqued to 18ftlbs. Well they are 6mm and I discovered that they won't take 18 lbs, one of them snaped off in the pump body and won't come out! Page 93 correctly calls them 6mm bolts WTF!!!!
I carefully ported this thing too and now it's junk. I'm pissed.

Your not the only one to have a problem with that torque spec....I ported my stock pump, only to stip out a bolt when torqueing it to 18ftlbs...I was pissed, but what can you do besides buy a new one...
