pickup tube oring?
#14
So im at home, got everything hooked up, started it a couple of times for about 30 seconds, and still nothing. I can see the oil slowly making its way up to the mechanical guage, but real slow. And the engine was smoking just a little. But I do have the covers loose. Some guys on tech where saying it took them a coupke of mins to get it all the way up? Wtf

i think we found the problem guys. after cranking the truck and it only making 20 psi on the oil guage i said **** it and pulled the front cover back off to find this.
now this is my first swap so i had no idea to check this when i had it off the first time. but after not getting full pressure i was thinking it was the pump until i found this. is this called a welch plug? any body have a part number for the 06 lq9? and do they just push in or how do i install it?
and i also took a pic of the two different orings so you guys can see the difference.
i do not advise anybody to go to Pavlock performance if they want an engine overhauled. wrong oring, maybe let that pass, wrong oring and no galley plug= wtf

post pver a year old, but did you get any further with the problem solving? i have 5.3 i just did a dbl roller, ls heads, & ls2 cam in , cranks/starts but no movement on oil pressure...put a new bluish oring because thats what came out, but i'd hate to pull apart & install a red one to find that wont fix my issue
