There have been several guys on the pontiac FB groups recently complaining about low idle oil pressure in new motors. I ask where they got the pump and if they took it apart and blueprinted it. The answer every time is " I got it from Butler so I assumed it was good."

A M54DS on Summit is $91 as of today. Somebody is making bank on these "boutique" pumps that still have the same issues as a M54DS.
