What does this do? (the tubes)

Oil cooler........

.

Its the lines to the oil cooler in the radiator. You should be able to plug them or cut them off and have them welded shut at the aluminum block if you dont want to run a cooler. They only run part of the oil thru the cooler not all of it, or you can just run a cooler

remote/auxillary oil filter/cooler thingy? Sorry, hope the real LSX guys see this!

pcmcobra · 01-21-2009, 10:46 PM

what rob said, goes to oil cooler. I just went and bought a blockoff plate from gm and did away with the cooler/tubes.

LuckyHenriksen · 01-21-2009, 10:53 PM

Ok sweet, I am going to try and find a block off plate. Have a part number by chance?

LuckyHenriksen · 01-21-2009, 10:54 PM

I've got a truck motor and it came on the pan.

LuckyHenriksen · 01-22-2009, 12:25 AM

Rob is that an actual plate or just the bolts stuffed back in there?

It's the plate that was on the pan when I got it. I think there are some different versions of it. I don't see why you can't take a piece of 1/4" aluminum and make your own block-off.

LuckyHenriksen · 01-22-2009, 01:02 AM

Hmmm. I would love to make my own but lack the machinery to do so. I will look into a GM part

I used 2 plugs and some rectorseal, cost about $2.00, and have done it on a couple of engines with no problems.
