LS Billet Oil Bypass Check Valve Delete GM Gen III & IV Engines LS1-2-3-6-7-9-LQ4-LQ9-4.8L-5.3L-6.0L & more

Hello,br>It won't make a significant difference in oil pressure. It will simply assist in ensuring that all of the oil is filtered. Thank you, Christian, br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br

For filter and oil, Mobil 1 is a great option.

I'm not sure if this will help you, but the oil "diverter" is also known as the "barbell" or "dumbell" in the LS engine community because of its appearance. Before the engine oil is recirculated, it is directed through the oil passages and completes the oil circuit. It can be found under the rear crank cover in the back of the block. It's a necessary component that will cause a loss of oil pressure right away. This upgrade, known as the "oil bypass valve delete," is available as an option. It takes the place of the oil bypass valve in your LS oil pan, which is usually located next to the oil filter adapter when the oil filter is threaded on. The idea is that by removing this valve and replacing it with a billet delete, you'll be preventing unfiltered oil from passing through your engine, which could cause metallic particles to embed in the soft cam and crank bearings, causing failure and destroying critical bearing surfaces. In the event that the filter becomes so dirty and clogged that engine oil cannot pass through the filter media, most high-quality, modern oil filters already have a bypass valve built in. But we shouldn't be allowing our oil to become so filthy in the first place. Adding the bypass valve delete is a safe upgrade as long as routine maintenance is carried out. I hope you found this information useful!
