Do you have cam work done to your car? If so are you VVT or did you do a full conversion?

Is this oil pump going out more of an issue with the LS3 than the L99.

Yes it's been a problem since the Ls1 lol the L99's on the other hand have a better record!

VADER SS L99 · 04-21-2013, 07:59 PM

Sorry to hear about that. Might as well upgrade a bunch of parts while your in there if not covered under warranty. Good time to get a cam.

rahallfly · 04-21-2013, 08:57 PM

It is weird that the L99 and LS3 have different records. because they are the same pump in there. What i have heard is that the pump is probably going out because of the installation. which i can see because when i put mine back on after the cam install it was a pain in the A$$. trying to get in there and get the seal perfect is a headache. with that said i dont know why a LS3 would be different than the 99.

I am not an expert but this is not common for engines that have not had internal work right?

dekan513 · 04-21-2013, 09:31 PM

im alrdy got a cam , lg g6x3 its been in for 10k or a lil more.
this is a problem for a long time as litle88 said

rahallfly · 04-21-2013, 10:15 PM

Ya i just have seen it with cammed cars. that sucks, can you do it yourself?

Frid · 04-21-2013, 10:17 PM

At least you caught it before it caused some damage. Hope the car is back up and running soon

legacy · 04-21-2013, 11:55 PM

i heard the L99 has a higher volume pump because of the extra AFM hardware

There is a TSB on it. Common on all LS motors, trucks and cars that use that part number.

Mine went out with 5k on it, all I had done is intake and exhaust.

rahallfly · 04-22-2013, 06:34 PM

That sucks, whats a TSB?

Atleast you can do the work and save labor costs Dekan
