The oil pan is a simple, yet crucial part of any engine build. Aviaid’s billet aluminum oil pans are, according to Aviaid president John Schwarz, “impervious to cracking”. They also include five pickup bungs and a built-in screen, and pans are being built for Z06 Corvettes, Modular Fords, and Hemi engines.

AVIAID INTRODUCES BILLET ALUMINUM OIL PAN SERIES

Noted lubrication systems pioneer Aviaid, credited with introducing dry sump technology to the automotive racing world back in the early 1960s, continues its industry leadership with the introduction of billet aluminum dry sump pans.

Entirely CNC machined from solid 6061-T6 aluminum billet, this new generation of oil pans provides important features and benefit over traditional fabricated or cast aluminum pans. According to Aviaid president John Schwarz, “Our billet pans are exceptionally strong, and impervious to cracking. The chance of casting imperfections or material porosity is also eliminated. And the fully fixture-machined mating surface ensures a perfect seal to the block.”

The first pan in Aviaid’s Billet Series is for Chevrolet LS-Series engines and is a perfect compliment to the firm’s highly regarded Z06 retrofit package. It features a built-in screen and five pick-up bungs.

Also under development are Billet Series pans for Modular Ford engines and late model 5.7/6.1L Chrysler Hemis, with others to follow.
