Podavelle Oil Port Plate Billet Aluminum 1/8 NPT

Description

Product Overview

The Podavelle oil port plate is engineered to seal the oil pan above the filter and to provide a reliable 1/8 NPT outlet for turbo, supercharger, or gauge feed lines. Crafted from a solid 1‑inch thick billet of aerospace‑grade aluminum, the plate is anodized to resist corrosion and wear. Dimensions are compact at 5.87 x 4.06 x 1.02 inches and it weighs only 3.52 ounces, making it easy to handle during installation. Each kit includes the adapter plate, a reusable o‑ring seal, a 1/8″ NPT pipe plug, and mounting bolts for a complete solution.

Usage

Designed for all LS series oil pans except GTO front‑sump designs, this plate works with dry‑sump applications such as LS7, LS9, and LS4 configurations. It is ideal for performance builds that require dedicated oil feed to turbochargers, superchargers, or precision oil pressure and temperature gauges. The straight‑up or straight‑down NPT orientation accommodates various routing preferences, ensuring a clean installation in both street and track environments.

FAQ

Is this plate compatible with my LS7 dry‑sump setup?

Yes, the plate is designed for LS7, LS9, LS4 and other dry‑sump configurations, providing a secure seal and NPT outlet.

Can I use the port for a pressure gauge?

Absolutely. The 1/8 NPT thread is standard for many oil pressure and temperature gauges, allowing direct feed from the pan.

What is the purpose of the anodized coating?

The anodized layer enhances resistance to corrosion, wear, and high‑temperature oil exposure, extending the part’s service life.

Do I need any special tools to install the plate?

Installation requires basic hand tools: a torque wrench for the mounting bolts and a thread sealant if desired, though the included o‑ring provides a reliable seal.

Will the plate fit a GTO front‑sump oil pan?

No, the internal oil routing of GTO front‑sump pans is incompatible with this adapter.
