But the oil pump has nothing to do with the ammount of power the engine produces. It pumps oil based on RPM not horse power... Oil pressure and flow are only increased when the RPMs are increased... the power produced by the engine or the mods that make it more powerful have nothing to do with the duty cycle of the oil pump.. Again I refer to the leaking oil pan... More powerful engines don't have any impact on an oil pan seal... if that seal fails it would have failed whether the car is modded or not.

Hey Moss, sorry to hear about your issue. I almost did not do my pump with my cam change. I was lucky I found a post or 2 about it and thought it would be worth it. Now after seeing this, I am so glad I did. If I was there, I think a 12 pack of beer and a few of us could have fun with it. Also, give Jim (Jhart711) a call if you do not want to do the work yourself at Hartley Automotive. He can hook you up for a lot less then that I believe. Good Luck Bro!! See ya when I get home.

A good industry lawyer could argue your point of an oil pan seal by saying that the added power created higher internal pressure within the engine that caused the seal to fail prematurely. Any judge in the world will buy it. I'm just playing devil's advocate here. It's a losing battle.

Fact is, youre completely at the mercy of GM when it comes to warranty excluding Lemon Law claims. Even if your mods didnt break the part they are denying to fix its going to cost a lot of time and money to get the issue resolved. Even if you do win it could take years to get into a court room.
Pretty much anything beyond light bolt on mods and you might as well consider most if not all of your warranty gone. |

Just have the lawyer replace the oil pump. 2 birds 1 stone.

But a mechanic could easily testify that your industry lawyer is technically wrong where the operation of an engine is concerned. Hence why technical experts testify. but I'm an internet expert so that means pretty much nothing...

So, you have reliable sources confirm something without seeing it? Since the car is still at the dealership I assume and still in one piece, there is absolutely no way to confirm that something didn't happen during the mod installation.

Like I said, It's not worth the legal fight...

They confirmed emphatically that the modifications that were performed would not have an adverse impact on the oil pump operation.
