Re: Oil pump replacement on 5.3 vortec
I ended up calling Melling tech support since when I looked at their website, there were many videos including one about priming the new pump but there was nothing about aligning the pump. I thought if the pump alignment was important like priming the new pump, they would have some instruction or video about it. I was told by their tech that there is no need to align their pumps. The only thing is recommended if finger tight the bolts, rotate the engine by hand 360 degree and then torque to spec.
