This document describes the Aeroflow Performance LS Chev Conversion Oil Pan, an aftermarket component designed to facilitate LS engine swaps into various vehicles by providing enhanced clearance and maintaining OEM compatibility.
The Aeroflow Performance LS Chev Conversion Oil Pan is specifically engineered to address common fitment issues encountered when installing GM LS series engines into conversion applications. Factory GM LS oil pans often hang too low or interfere with chassis components, making them unsuitable for many swaps. This Aeroflow pan is designed to provide maximum extra clearance to chassis frames and the ground, particularly around the front half of the oil pan. It serves as a structural member for the LS engine, ensuring proper mounting points for the transmission bellhousing. The pan is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing LS engine components, including the oil filter, oil cooler port, and bell-housing attachments. It also incorporates features for engine NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) suppression and utilizes OEM flange gasket and sealing methods. The pan includes hinged trap door style baffles, which are crucial for oil control during aggressive driving conditions, preventing oil starvation by keeping oil around the pickup.
The Aeroflow Performance LS Chev Conversion Oil Pan is designed for ease of installation and integration into LS engine swap projects. It comes with a new oil pan gasket and a new oil pump pickup screen and O-ring, which are critical for proper sealing and oil delivery. The pan's design ensures that the rear of the oil pan is flush with the rear of the engine block, which is critical for proper transmission bellhousing alignment. The hinged trap door baffles are a key feature, designed to prevent oil starvation during high-performance driving by maintaining a consistent supply of oil around the pickup. The pan also includes provisions for an oil filter adapter and an oil bypass plate and gasket, ensuring all necessary oil system components can be integrated. The installation process involves specific torque settings for various bolts to ensure proper sealing and structural integrity. The manual emphasizes the importance of checking for clearance with chassis components and rotating the crankshaft to ensure no interference with internal baffle components.
The oil pan is designed for durability with its cast aluminium construction. Regular maintenance involves checking for leaks after installation and ensuring adequate oil pressure. The design facilitates standard oil filter replacement, as it uses the standard oil filter in the standard location. The manual recommends thorough cleaning of all new parts before installation to remove any dirt or debris. In the event of modifications to the pan (e.g., to clear internal components), it is crucial to thoroughly clean the pan after each modification to prevent debris from entering the engine's oil system. The use of a stud kit (not included but mentioned as an option) can protect the threaded oil pan bolt holes in the engine block and simplify future removal and replacement of the oil pan, enhancing long-term maintainability. The pan's robust design and compatibility with OEM components aim to reduce the need for frequent maintenance beyond standard oil changes and leak checks.
