Improved Racing Pickup Tube Brace and Galley Plug Barbell for LS Engines

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 Racing's 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. Coupled with high-strength steel flange screws, it will keep your pickup tube in place and leak-free lap after lap.

This part is recommended for replacing the plastic OEM plug in any engine build. Improved Racing's barbell features a second O-ring that completely seals off the dirty oil from the clean oil, forcing 100% of oil flow through the filter. Sharp corners were avoided and machined as smooth fillets to improve oil flow, while the bullnose tip helps smooth oil flow to the oil filter. The shaft diameter is smaller than the OEM plastic barbell to minimize flow restriction. A threaded hole was added so that the barbell can be easily rem
