If you have your Rear Main Seal Cover off, you have easy a access to your barbell. This is a inexpensive worthwhile product that keeps unfiltered oil out of your bearing and lifters.
LS and LT1 lifters have tiny needle bearing in the rollers, small particles getting in these bearing greatly reduces there life especially with cam swaps that use heavier valve spring pressures that apply more pressure to these bearings.
Top engine builders like Texas Speed and WS6 Store use our barbells in there engine builds.
The shaft is not beveled as advertised. It's flat like the factory.
Hi Tramminc,
The packaging you are showing tells me it was purchased quit while ago, like in 2017. It is identical to the updated ones except for the taper.
Here is how we have been packaging them for almost 2 yrs even before the taper.
Stop using this as a selling point. Oil is bypassed by design. This does not stop unfiltered oil.
Hi DietCoke,
You need to take another look at what the Barbell does. Even the biggest LS engine builders like Texas Speed use our barbells in their builds because they know the OIL DIVERTER (barbell) is supposed to "divert" the oil
down through the filter! Any oil that gets by the barbell is not filtered! GM is ok with a certain amount of unfiltered oil going through the engine but we aren't.

Sure, divert it to the oil filter so it can get bypassed there, instead. Increasing volume to the filter doesn't increase volume filtered.
Getting rid of 1 way guarantees more oil will get filtered. Plus artificial pressure loss.
Thats not a bad thing. The other pressure bypass works differently. Its not always on like the barbell is.
Ive pulled apart so many ls engines that had issues and the barbell rows had pieces of trash and bearing material stuck in them you can only imagine what doesnt get caught. Its a constant "leak" also
