Melling 10296 Oil Pump How To Install Pump and Pick Up Tube and Overview Also Spring Options

[@elpinchediablo6666]

Great video, I'm getting ready to install the exact same oil pump.. Thank you. I'll watch this video again to install correctly.

UNBEATABLE EXPLANATION FOR THE ASSEMBLY OF THIS PIECE GRATEFUL FRIEND🥇

[@whiplashtv2022]

You’re welcome

[@whiplashbabe7409]

Great job!

[@ioutlaw5353]

I purchased the same pump and im planning to do cam install to my 2015 caprice v8 6.0L (L77 Engine), Do you recommend deleting the oil pressure relief valve in the oil pan? My engine is stock bottom end, stock clearance just a dod delete and cam kit swap.

[@whiplashtv2022]

Probably the best 2 options are to either shim the spring so that it will be harder for it to relieve or delete it.

Nice job

I have cancelled dod what pump you prefer the 10355 or 10296 for Yukon Denali 6.2 2013?

[@whiplashtv2022]

Either pumps of those will work good for your application.

[@GoodForYou4504]

I'm rebuilding a 5.3. Basically stock specs with aftermarket upgrades to handle nitrous. The only part I'm stuck on is the oil pump. A lot of mixed information out there. I looked at the M295hv but not sure if it's needed because no plans to increase bearing clearances. Any thoughts?

[@whiplashtv2022]

A huge detail is whether or not your stock spec 5.3 is a DOD motor or non DOD. I would run the Melling 10296 as seen in this video with the standard spring that comes installed if it were me. If your motor has displacement on demand then you have to have the extra volume because of how it works.

[@GoodForYou4504]

@@whiplashtv2022 My bad for not saying it is non DOD (gen 3). Makes sense to use the pump in this video. The volume is fine and I have the option to increase pressure if needed. I'm checking out your other videos. Lots of great info. Subscribed and thank you!! 👍

[@whiplashtv2022]

@@GoodForYou4504 Thanks for subscribing and checking them out! Yeah I would do the 10296. If my RCSB Chevy 5.3 LM7 that I have on the channel ever needs an oil pump then that is what I would put in it.

[@justinbrito5020]

I got the 10295 do you have to shim these?

[@whiplashtv2022]

The 10295 is a high pressure but not a high volume oil pump. If it comes with different springs then you can add more pressure that way. What application are you using that pump on?

[@justinbrito5020]

@@whiplashtv2022 yeah I got high pressure for a ls2 05 vette and using the copo spring or the one step down belive it’s red

[@whiplashtv2022]

@@justinbrito5020 I used the spring that came installed and I have 40-45psi at hot idle and 80psi at wot. The copo may be too much…regardless I always recommend high volume and high pressure.

[@justinbrito5020]

@@whiplashtv2022 I’ll switch it then I thought so also but my buddy ran it in his and had no issues so I said why not. It’s not a crazy build cam, dual valve springs trunion upgrade exhaust headers. Maybe I’ll put the stock spring back in as well. Im new to ls and saw someone say something about shimming and got worried

[@whiplashtv2022]

Usually people will shim the stock oil pump to get more pressure out of it. On the Melling, just select the spring that you want for the desired pressure.

[@atxjax1]

I have an 07 5.3L LY5 in a 07 Sierra. It's got 115K on it. Already changed my O ring and am still at 25 PSI hot idle. maybe 38/39 while cruising. Info I get is that it's fine but I want to bump the pressure up a bit more. My DOD is disabled via tune. Plus I am going ot install the OIL port blocker for the VLOM passage. Would the 10296 be the choice of pump for my needs?

[@whiplashtv2022]

Yes, the Melling 10296 is high volume and high pressure pump so it would handle your needs just fine.

[@codskilclanchannel6420]

Do you have to rotate the crank after putting the bolts on ? I didn’t do it when putting mine on

[@whiplashtv2022]

You do according to Mellings instructions. If you simply put the pump on and tighten it then gravity will have it sitting a little lower than it should and could cause premature wear and damage.

[@codskilclanchannel6420]

@@whiplashtv2022 I just put it in and tightened it, but I’ve seen half the people say you have to shim and it and the other half say they’ve never shimmed it, idk what to do cuz then I’ll need to pull crank bolt and a new cover gasket

[@whiplashtv2022]

@@codskilclanchannel6420 Melling says to do it the way that I showed in the video. They aren’t going to tell you to tear their pump apart to add shims and then reassemble the front of the pump. I figure that if they build the pump and give instructions on how to install it, then I am gonna follow that and not shim it. So I went with their instructions.

[@Crozier4582]

I have a 2009 chevy 1500 with the 5.3l engine code J. I canceled my ordered pump. Im now confused on which oil pump i should be using. 260000 miles with dod still active..

[@whiplashtv2022]

This pump will work for you. With DOD you have to have a high volume pump as a minimum requirement. A high pressure oil pump is not necessarily a requirement. If you are having oil pressure issues….have you tried replacing the oil pickup tube o ring?

[@Crozier4582]

@@whiplashtv2022 i belive my o ring is falling or going to give out very soon. Oil pressure when cold is 40 but doesn't more with rpm (when cold i can drive down the road and no matter what rpm is stays at 40 psi) untill it warms up. Once warmed up it idles 20-30 and moved with rpm as it should. Im gonna replace the o ring and the oil pump because its got 260 thousand on it. Figured it can't hurt. Guys at melling said to get the m295hv, although i would like an increase in oil pressure so hopefully this will do it.

[@whiplashtv2022]

@@Crozier4582 replacing the o ring is a good idea. My oil pressure wasn’t rising with rom much and I had oil sludge to clean out. The video is here on the channel. The 10296 is an upgrade over the 10295hv. So if the 10295hv would work then so will the 10296.

[@Crozier4582]

@@whiplashtv2022 good to hear! I was hesitant on the 10296 because of my afm still being active. I wasn't sure if the higher oil pressure would potentially mess with it. Thank you

@@Crozier4582 I’m not aware of high pressure messing with it. Feel free to ask Melling their thoughts on that.

mine didn't come with the 3rd spring, which I'd like, as I'm feeding a turbo as well. Thanks!

[@jonperley7304]

I ordered the 355 pump and was supposed to come with an extra spring now I have no idea what spring is in the pump and removing the spring plug my experience is next to impossible as melling really tightens them up!!!???

[@whiplashtv2022]

I am not sure what springs the 355 pump is all supposed to come with. I don’t see why the installed spring would not be sufficient. I am running the installed spring on the 10296 and have plenty of oil pressure. I also deleted the piston squirters and the factory oil cooler as well.

[@latraygorham647]

Yeah I like 👍 this

[@whiplashtv2022]

Thanks

[@1bad69xss4]

Why not the 10355hv?

[@whiplashtv2022]

Because I deleted the oil piston squirters and the stock oil cooler. So it isn’t really necessary to run the 10355HV. The 10296HVHP out performs the stock high volume oil pump anyways.

@@whiplashtv2022 And I apologize. I wrote the comment before even watching the video. Thats on me. I plan on doing a 388 or 416 dart block myself with the LSA supercharger. I would think this pupm here would be right for that application.

[@whiplashtv2022]

@@1bad69xss4 If I kept the oil squirters and the stock or an aftermarket market oil cooler then I would have gotten the 10355HV and run a 70psi spring like I am running in the 10296. Fun fact, the 10296HVHP eats up less hp than the 10355HV.

[@taylorsrus9543]

The 355 hvhp is a superior pump. This is like the stock LSA pump. These you will often see oil pressure in the teens on hot days in traffic. His logic is sound but a bit misleading as you usually run more bearing clearance so it's not apples to apples. Also will depend on what oil you want to run. As with all things, it depends on your whole combination.
