NO CORE · NO COMPROMISE · READY FOR THE TRACK

The Katech TrackFlow™ LS9 Billet High-Capacity Scavenge Dry Sump Oil Pump is the ultimate replacement solution for LS9 dry sump engines demanding uncompromising oiling performance. It may also be used in LS7/LS3 dry sump applications where a large increase in oil pressure is desired.

Engineered as a direct replacement for the discontinued GM OEM LS9 oil pump (GM #12578147), the Katech TrackFlow™ LS9 Oil Pump eliminates the need for a core exchange while delivering increased scavenge capacity, billet durability, and improved oil control for high-RPM and track use.

Built for precision and durability, the Katech TrackFlow™ LS9 Oil Pump delivers increased scavenge capacity over both the factory GM LS9 pump and Katech’s Ported OEM LS9 Oil Pump Upgrade, helping maintain superior oil control under demanding conditions.

Timing Chain Tensioner & Clearance Requirements

The Katech TrackFlow™ LS9 Billet High-Capacity Scavenge Dry Sump Oil Pump features increased scavenge stage capacity and a revised housing profile to support sustained high-load and endurance racing oil control. Due to this design, timing chain damper selection directly affects clearance with the oil pump body.

  • GM LS7 Timing Chain Damper Kit – GM #12581276
  • GM Gen IV LS Timing Chain Tensioner Kit – GM #12626407

The GM Gen IV LS2 Timing Chain Damper Kit (GM #12588670) may be used only if the OE mounting bolts are replaced with shorter fasteners. The factory LS2 damper bolts may extend beyond the damper body and contact the oil pump housing, creating an interference condition.

Katech recommends verifying bolt depth and performing a trial fit during engine mock-up to confirm proper clearance between the tensioner assembly and pump body before final assembly.

Professional installation recommended
