Not an aluminum piece. The blue covers are a staple that helps identify Katech oil pumps from others. The factory 2020+ pumps while revised in design still use a powdered metal inner ring which is the failure point in all Gen-V LT oil pumps. GM has produced no LT wet sump oil pumps that use a billet steel ring like the Katech.

If you would like to be further educated on our oil pumps compared to the OEM feel free to give me a call. 586-791-4120 ect 222.

I can assure you no one in the world has done more development or simply even had more Gen-V LT oil pumps apart than Katech.

And where can we TUNE the oil pressure? Is that in EFILive or a product outside of HPTuners? Kind of like the claims of independent cylinder spark tuning in another thread.

Thank you, as always, for the clarification on the product you produce for our Community. The expert on his product has spoken.
Tuning for oil pressure is not possible within the current software parameters of our cars brotha. Oil pressure is driven mechanically via the crankshaft and the solenoid attached to the oil pump allows the variability from low to high pressure when you gun it.

As for tuning cylinder spark independently.... That's not a thing either. Unless there are parameters I don't know about or they are in user defined parameters that you need to interpret yourself. I would love to be wrong here, but I've been up and down all of the available features in HPT and have never seen that in the spark section.

As for the Katech oil pump itself. It's been one of the best designed aftermarket pieces that I have ever run in any vehicle. A big thank you to yourself and the guys over there at Katech Mike for making some badass products.
