Description

clamp sideclamp side

Improve the reliability and performance of your LS oiling system with this simple brace! The factory LS engine oil pickup tube is only secured by a single screw, which can result in a poor O-ring seal and lead to oil pressure drops and oil starvation. Improved Racings billet aluminum brace improves the pickup tube O-ring seal by ensuring equal clamping force is exerted to both sides of the oil pickup tube flange. This brace uses the unused extra screw hole in the oil pump and is 100% bolt-on.
