How long does an LS oil pump last?
as barneyb said most engines dont see it past 300,000 but if you take care of it and change its oil and coolant and filter and all that stuff it may see a little more.
What kind of oil pump do I need for my GM LS?
This replacement oil pump is ideal for all types of engines, including GM LS GEN III, IV, and Vortec combustion engines. The pump is also compatible with factory GM oil pickup tubes.
Can a stock oil pan be swapped for an LS engine?
Many stock oil pans are available for LS engines, each one designed for a specific chassis. With so many different oil-pan options, there is confusion as to which oil pans fit which chassis. This Tech Tip is From the Full Book, LS SWAPS: HOW TO SWAP GM LS ENGINES INTO ALMOST ANYTHING.
What kind of oil tank does an LS engine use?
The factory pump in both wet-sump and hybrid applications uses a crank-driven gerotor design and traditional pickup to supply oil to the engine. On the LS7, LS9, and Corvette C6 Grand Sport, the oiling system has been modified from the other LS platforms, using an external oil tank to go with the same crankshaft-driven pump.
Can a LS oil pump not be attached properly?
Apparently, LS engines usually come with one bolt that attaches the pickup tube to the oil pump. However, this bolt may not be sufficient for attaching the tube properly. This may consequently cause sealing issues, leading to cavitations or oil starvation.
