LS Oil Pump Pickup Tube Girdle Reinforcement
When your LS swap demands unyielding support for the oil pump pickup assembly, this Oil Pump Pickup Tube Girdle secures the tube and maintains steady oil flow under extreme stress. It locks around standard LS teardrop mounts to prevent pickup tube motion that can lead to cavitation during hard acceleration or sustained cornering. Machined from durable aluminum, the girdle resists engine heat and vibration to keep oil delivery reliable in street or track applications.
Pickup Tube Stability in LS Engine Swaps
In high-load situations such as hard acceleration or sustained cornering, oil in the sump can slosh away from the pickup screen, risking cavitation and loss of pressure. This girdle clamps tightly around the pickup tube and locks it to the standard LS teardrop mount, ensuring the screen remains submerged at all times. By preventing any tube movement, it maintains a steady flow of oil to the pump inlet, which is vital for protecting bearings and other critical engine components. Consistent oil delivery under these conditions directly contributes to improved engine reliability on both street and track.
Precision Machining Enabling Consistent Oil Delivery
CNC machining in the USA delivers uniform clamp pressure around the tube circumference, eliminating gaps that could lead to oil leaks or pressure drops. Tight dimensional tolerances ensure the girdle aligns perfectly with the factory teardrop mount, avoiding any distortion of the pickup tube. Each unit undergoes inspection to verify exact fitment, which means predictable performance from one assembly to the next. This level of precision reduces installation errors and helps maintain optimal oil pump efficiency under all operating conditions.
Aluminum Structure with Heat and Vibration Resistance
Constructed from durable aluminum alloy, the girdle offers an excellent balance of strength and light weight, minimizing added mass in the engine bay. The material resists warping under elevated heat cycles common in racing or heavy towing, preserving clamp force over time. Its corrosion resistance guards against environmental exposure, while its rigid design soaks up engine vibration and road shock. Together, these properties ensure the pickup tube assembly remains secure, even after thousands of miles.
Quick Fitment Using Standard Teardrop Hardware
The girdle ships with a complete hardware kit tailored for factory LS teardrop mounts, removing the need for custom brackets or drilling. All bolts, washers, and detailed instructions are included, allowing installation to be completed in under an hour with basic hand tools. This straightforward approach saves valuable shop time and reduces the chance of incorrect torque or misalignment. By retaining the stock mounting points, it delivers a reliable upgrade without altering engine block integrity.
Engineered for a precise fit and dependable oil delivery in all driving conditions.
