Milodon’s got the solution for oil filtration on the GM LS engine using this unique on-the-block billet oil filter mount. It can be used with two different Milodon Oil Pans – the Pro Touring #31507 or Street Strip #30915 pans.

The filter mount will accept the stock LS filter, a larger Fram 3675 filter or the even bigger (by 40%) Fram #25 filter. 

Keeping the filter in the stock location on performance-minded machines simplifies the oil-change process and keeps the filter out of the way if there are external performance additions such as a turbo system.

According to Milodon’s Ken Sink, “You can double the filtration and keep the filter in the stock location. In addition, we added a second oil-pressure-sensor location in the mount.”

The company has also added four new part numbers to their aluminum timing cover lineup for the big-block Chevrolet Mk V and Gen VI engines. They will easily handle a double-roller timing chain, and the tooling has been modified so it’s a true one-piece cover.

The timing covers are available in either a machined [Mk V – PN 14865, Gen VI – PN 14875] or polished [ Mk V – PN 14860, Gen VI – PN 14870] finish for each engine platform. The castings are CNC machined right here in the good ol’ US of A.

A brand-new small- and big-block Mopar billet thermostat housing is also on display and is meant to provide a solution to owners of those engines. Sink says, “All those big-block Chryslers and Dodges are 30 or 40 years old, and the housing are warped and leaking. We did not o-ring this like many of the other replacements, you can use the standard gasket and get 100 percent sealing.” The made-in-the-USA housing [PN 65735] is OE quality and CNC-machined from billet 6061 aluminum, and can be used in show-quality applications. 

Milodon’s also created an all-new big-block Chevrolet Mk IV oil pan gasket [PN 41011] with a number of improvements for the end-user.

“This gasket is already notched for long-stroke cranks and it has the tightening limiters, so you won’t deform the gasket when you tighten the bolts,” explains Sink. “It’s not too thick like some other one-piece gaskets, which means the oil pickup will be where it’s supposed to be in the bottom of the pan and not too far from the pan’s bottom.”
