Pump specifications:
• Over 30% higher volume capacity pump than the stock LS1/LS6/LS2/LS3 oil pump
• Displacement of 1.26 in3/rev
• The stock LS1/LS6/LS2/LS3 pump is 0.95 in3/rev
• 8/9 gear set with a 12.9mm thick gear
• The stock LS1/LS6/LS2/LS3 pump gear is 10.7mm thick
• Includes standard and high pressure PRV springs
• Includes both car and truck pickup tube O-rings
• Fits factory timing cover
• NOTE: This high volume oil pump is thicker than the production LS1, LS6, LS2 and LS3 oil
pump and may not fit in a stock timing cover with aftermarket double roller timing chains that
require spacing out the oil pump.
Rev. 1.1 Release date: 2 May 2014
The Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE) high volume GM Gen III & IV V8
oil pump is recommended for use in applications that will require increased pump flow
to achieve the desired oil pressure. Engines with piston oil cooling jets, radiused crank
bearings, aftermarket lifters or increased build clearances may require a higher volume
pump to achieve the same oil pressure, especially at low engine speeds and higher oil
temperatures when the pressure relief valve (PRV) is not in control of oil pressure.
This oil pump is supplied with a standard pressure relief spring installed in the pump’s
pressure relief valve. This spring is yellow in color. For most applications this is the
spring that LPE recommends you use. For cylinder deactivation equipped engines you
will want to use the higher pressure relief spring. If a higher oil pressure is desired,
remove the yellow spring and replace it with the supplied orange spring. The orange
spring will provide a roughly 10 psi increase in peak oil pressure. With the installed
standard pressure yellow spring, the pressure relief valve should start to open at 33 psi
and be in full relief at 65 psi while with the high pressure orange spring the relief valve
should start to open at 43 psi and will be in full relief by 75 psi.
Torque the pressure relief valve plug to 12 Nm (106 inch-lbs) with an 8 mm (or 5/16”)
Allen socket.
NOTE: Changing the relief spring will not change the low RPM idle pressure.
