So I installed the pick-up tube and O-ring that came with my new LS swap oil pan. After installing the engine in the car (not running yet), a small package was found with two O-rings that came with the engine long block. The engine has a Melling oil pump and the O-rings are to be used "in place" of whichever color GM O-ring the engine came with.
Does anyone have experience with installing a Melling pump but using what I suppose is a standard GM style O-ring? I do know it went in tight. Is there any important reason I should pull the motor back out just to replace the GM O-ring with the correct O-ring from Melling?
I appreciate anyone's experience with this. Thank you!
