{"product_id":"improved-racing-gm-ls-oil-pan-baffle","title":"Improved Racing GM LS Oil Pan Baffle","description":"The Improved Racing EGM-204 oil pan baffle is engineered to combat oil starvation issues common in GM LS small block engines, particularly during high-G maneuvers like road racing, drifting, and autocross. Oil aeration and windage at higher RPMs can lead to significant oil starvation, but this baffle's directional trap door system effectively keeps oil around the pickup tube, providing crucial lubrication.\n\nThis baffle offers track-proven protection, capable of preventing oil pressure drops at up to 1.4 sustained lateral G's. It is a 100% bolt-in component, replacing the stock steel baffle without requiring any welding. The design includes drain-back slots to facilitate oil return to the sump, while also minimizing oil slosh and reducing oil consumption. Constructed from lightweight aluminum, it sheds 1.3 lbs compared to the factory baffle, and utilizes solid body aircraft rivets for secure trap door mounting.\n\nInstallation of the EGM-204 is recommended to be performed with a new oil pan gasket and an o-ring for the oil pump pickup tube. It is made in the USA and comes with a lifetime warranty.\n\nApplications for the Improved Racing EGM-204 oil pan baffle include the 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO, 2001-2005 Holden Monaro (V2 CV8 \u0026amp; VZ), 2002-2006 Holden Commodore (VY \u0026amp; VZ), and 2002-2005 Vauxhall Monaro. It is also compatible with other vehicles equipped with GM oil pan part numbers 12599397, 12599398, 12581209, or 12581210.","brand":"Improved Racing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52689003675960,"sku":"EGM-204","price":279.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687503060.jpg?v=1784900212","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/improved-racing-gm-ls-oil-pan-baffle","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
