Check out the diy on cam install. It's almost the same.

With any Cam job on these cars we use the older style pumps ported/shimmed. Never had a failure in over 10 years and 100's of cars. We use them on all out heavilly built cars too.

Do you have the older style pump on your car, how much would I have to pay to have one installed.

Do the l99 use a high volume pump? I'm pretty sure the g8 with l76 use s high volume pump because of afm

So does this mean my L99 maybe less prone to this failure.

Yes I do but I also took off all the AFM/DOD crap.We tore it out at 500 miles.

Ok, So...This IS NOT a problem for the L99's because the pump is different correct?

I apologize but I've got to ask just to get a better grasp on what is being asked here. Has anyone actually had their oil pumps have this type of issue before? Thank you for your time.

I have the same issue. Just got my car towed to the dealer this morning. 2011 I have an LS3 with less than 4k miles.

mkeeler · 06-06-2011, 08:23 PM

My pump valve failed in Feb with 5k miles. Dealer fixed under warranty and pulled top engine to check for damage (onstar made me run the car for 3 minutes to remote diagnose before they would send a tow .. with me screaming in the background)
