Supplimental Oil Feed Line 4, 5, and 6cyl Atlas Engines
Replacing an engine is expensive. - Helping it stay alive isn't.
We have learned a lot from tearing down Atlas engines over that last several years
Every engine tells a story. Some have 80,000 miles, others have over 300,000. Some were babied. Others spent their lives towing, crawling trails, or bouncing off the rev limiter. But after rebuilding enough of these engines, one thing became impossible to ignore—the most common failure was the rear cylinder connecting rod starving of oil.
NOW our ultimate fix for this is removing the balance shafts entirely with our delete kit.
However, this requires removing the engine or transmission to install.
In an effort to provide a solution that doesn't require disassembly or removal of the engine we developed the Badland Industries Supplemental Oil Feed Supply Kit.
Instead of relying on a single oil feed, our system adds a second supply of oil directly to the rear of the main oil gallery where we see the oil starvation occur in our teardown motors.
It's a simple modification backed by real-world testing on dozens of Atlas-powered trucks and SUVs and has become standard practice on every engine we build.
If you are purchasing our Balance Shaft Delete Kit we do not recommend the block line.

This kit comes with the necessary fittings, flexible line and Insulation to fit this onto your 4, 5, and even 6 cyl Atlas motor.

This updated kit is a flexible hose and not a hard-line as pictured.
This is to improve ease of installation.
