So after 2 years of my truck sitting, I finally bought a low vacuum supercharger bypass valve to fix my running issues after installing a lumpy boost cam (for the record I had oil pressure after the cam install but not after starting up after sitting for 2 years). It started up after installing the bypass valve and had no oil pressure and tons of lifter noise.
Having thought my oil pump was cracked or shattered I pulled to the timing cover and ordered a new pump. upon removal of the gears it was clear that they were not cracked or shattered at all...
Cleaned out the housing thoroughly and cleaned the oil bypass valve up.
When installing the new gear I used the red engine assembly lube on both the gears and the bypass valve.
No noticeable shrapnel was found in the oil pan.
Any ideas?!
