Re: 2000 5.3 oil pump issues?

It sounds like the oil pressure regulator which is inside the pump is sticking. This is not that uncommon for the ls engines. I just worked on an avalanche that was similar. On startup sometimes there wouldnt be pressure and also could here the valvetrain. With no pressure I could rev the engine and pressure would jump up to normal and stay there most of the times. I would change the pump.
