VT-X, Sump Baffle, EGM-201

OVERVIEW The GM LS family small blocks are prone to oil starvation at high Gs, especially at higher RPMs where oil aeration and windage is more prevalent. Proper oil pan baffling is critical for improving oil control and reducing oil starvation in these engines.

BEFORE ORDERING you MUST CHECK which sump is fitted to your engine. Especially if you don't know the history of your car as you may have an early/late style sump from another engine

If you are unsure call or email, as we are UNABLE TO ACCEPT RETURNS for this product once the packaging has been opened.

The optional Oil pan gasket kit includes a new factory oil pan gasket and oil pickup tube O-ring. It is recommended that these components be replaced when installing a used oil pan.

DETAILS Track-proven to prevent oil starvation at up to 1.4 sustained lateral G's

Directional trap door baffling completely encloses the oil pump pickup for maximum protection against oil starvation at high Gs; 100% bolt in, no welding necessary. This is a direct bolt-in replacement for the stock steel baffle in the stock oil pan

Baffle plate with drain-back slots help accelerate return of oil to the bottom of the sump while also preventing oil slosh and reducing oil consumption

Reduces the risk of oil starvation when oil levels are low

Works with the factory cast aluminum oil pan, which is considered a structural member of the engine block and is less prone to failure or leaking than aftermarket sheet metal pans

Light-weight aluminum construction sheds 1.3lbs over the factory baffle

Solid body aircraft rivets employed for securing trap door
