Default New Pickup Tube Girdle for LSX engines from BRP

BRP Hot Rods is proud to introduce the oil pan girdle for the 00+ GM oil pickup tubes (Patent Pending). This is designed for any pickup tube that has the tab attached to the tube. It has been tested on LH8, CTS-V, Truck and 00+ F-Body oil pans without any issues. Anyone who has changed the oil pan on a LS engine knows how easy it is to pinch the O-Ring and cause a pressure leak in the motor. All GM oil pumps feature two mounting bolts but only use one in all OEM applications. This simple girdle slides over the pickup tube to allow for a secure seal of the o-ring. Getting a solid seal on the pick up tube ensures adequate oil pressure when initially cranking the LS engine and through the engines life.







Shown is the OEM tab seal being broken with a ball point pin. This simple girdle could save your motors life for only 19.95.




Kit includes the BRP oil girdle with aircraft grade bolts and washers.



Call BRP for more info the first batch will be available by the end of December

This will not work on a pickup tube that does not have the tab attached

its 19.95

So far this has worked with every pick up tube that I have seen built after 2000, as long as the single bolt tab is attached it will fit. Only the early 97-99 had a slip fit tab that was not welded to the tube and will not work with this set up.

If it does not fit I will do a full refund no questions asked.

Looks very nice and a great idea. I wish this was out when I did my cam swap

2 ARP 12 point bolts would work wonderfully on this instead of the bolts in the picture. What is the UHL of the new pickup tube bolts?

Damn, the engine I'm putting in my 93 is from a 98. I'll have to see if the extra pickup tube I have laying around will work. I know this should work with my LS7 dry sump parts.

I'm 200% positive it will. The GTO has the right pickup attachment.

I have had some request for ARP and Wire locking bolts that I’m looking into after this first batch of 100. The first 100 kits will ship with one piece aircraft with a built in washer.

Bolt info

6mX20
Zinc Hex
Flanged bolts
8.8 grade
Contrast vibration protections in cast iron

I have about 20 that I was just called and told were finished for inspection and today and today is our last in the office till Jan 5 of 09 at but when we come back in these will be ready to ship.

What it does is reduce oil pressure loss by properly sealing the pick up tube and easing the install of the OEM O-ring that is know to pinch and leak down oil pressure.

The LS7 has a dry sump oil system. It's different from the rest of the LSx engines.

I know that!

Is the pick tube one piece with two bolts? Or is there some kind of retainer?

It looks like one piece.
