What causes low oil pressure after new oil pump?
Good Luck! i seen the same thing but was told thats only on 2007 and newer What happened is when you slid the oil pickup tube into the pump the O ring was either displaced, or got cut (both common). Take the front cover off again and drop it back down so you can inspect it.
What should I do if my oil pressure is low?
Take the front cover off again and drop it back down so you can inspect it. Also, there are 3 different color O-rings (thicknesses) depending on the pump, We always test fit first to get the snuggest one that will seal the best. Always apply grease to it before installing. Do NOT run with pressure that low.
Why does the pressure relief valve stick on my pump?
The other issue is the pressure relief valve will stick on some pumps as they have not been deburred after machining,. We always disassemble each pump (new or used) and smooth off any burrs around the plunger/spring/valve as well to avoid this in the future.
What can I do if my oil pressure is low?
Installing a new oil pump or higher pressure pump won’t help because the bearings have too great a leakage rate to hold the required pressure. Installing a stronger oil pump than the old one can increase the oil flow and regain some of the lost pressure. The main problem would be still there and will cause bearing noise, wear and fatigue.

What should the clearance be for an oil pump?
With rotor style pumps, the clearance between the outer rotor and pump housing should usually be less than 0.012 inches, with no more than about 0.010 inches between the inner and outer rotor lobes. Too much clearance inside the pump will reduce the pump’s ability to pump oil efficiently which reduces the flow and pressure.
Can a high engine speed cause low oil pressure?
High engine speeds can cause faster than normal wear on crankshaft bearings, especially if combined with low-quality engine oils and longer than specified intervals in between oil changes.
