Stupid windage tray question.
Stupid windage tray question. I bought a batwing vette oil pan off ebay. The seller said it came with baffles. I assumed he meant windage tray. But no windage tray was shipped.
This is going on my LQ9 motor. Any chance the truck tray will work?

you could try it, but the gm parts book shows 2 different part #'s for the truck and vette windage trays. the vette part # is 12558189 also call a dealer and ask but it says the vette and gto trays are the same.
Yep, local dealer has it for under $25 so I oredered one.
I just wasn't sure if it's a bolt in piece in place of my truck tray or if there would be vette specific spacers that needed to be used.
I'm still kind of foggy on why different windage trays for different pans when it's the trays location to the crank that's important.

Yep, pulled the pan and windage tray today. I'm kind of curious to see how different the vette windage tray is.
How about the pickup O rings. Why are thee several different ones? I've got an LQ9 block with an 02 vette pickup tube. Why are there different O rings, and which should I use.
BTW, I'm tempted to go to the hardware store and buy a $0.25 O ring rather than the $5 (minimum 5 piece order) O ring for the pickup tube.

One difference is that the truck pans are deeper and allow plenty of room for the oil pickup tube. The Fbody pan is shallow (in the front) and there is no room for the pickup tube and the windage tray. The Fbody tray is much shorter than the truck tray. May be a similar situation with the Vette tray and pickup tube.

Brett Foote Just a thought, especially since I dont know how big a job it would be, a cross reference list of O rings and pickup tubes would be welcome. A lot of folks have low or no oil pressure problems and this would be just another source for a solution. E.G. I have a 2002 6.0L with a modified LS1 pickup tube. I used the LS1 O ring, but I could have just as easily purchased an LQ4 O ring and potentially caused myself a problem.
